That seems pretty safe.  In particular, there is no processing in the
cloud that requires an unencrypted form of the data.

Still: someone could learn when you are coming and going and connect
you-in-Canada with you-in-Thailand.  That doesn't sound bad since
there are probably already many other ways that you leak that
information.
