Canadian counts as reliable for me ;)

Canadian here. It pains me to say that my country will not keep your data safe from prying eyes, nor safe from sharing and cooperating with USA authorities.

Our legislative trajectory includes mandatory encryption back doors, warrantless access to data, and data retention even when you think you have deleted your data from a provider. Our federal government is only slightly behind the pace of the USA and is cooperating and sharing with them.

Recent HN thread on this. (There have been several.)

If you're Canadian, write your MP. There are EFF and CCLA templates to help you do that.

Well thanks but it’s the worst of both worlds, neither the European regulations nor US laws, many bills passed recently where law enforcement can tap into any data, so I would not trust that either. Also, highly likely they use US infra like clouds/etc so back to square one.
