As long as the data you're concerned about has to traverse the Internet, 
having the server in Canada offers only the illusion of data protection. 
Packets might have to traverse the United States and even if they 
didn't, do you really think that an American IP transit provider can 
resist the pressure of the American government and not allow the 
government to collect data as they see fit?
