      They sure try to advertise on that but they are a Swiss company so Canadian laws have little to do with them.

        This is incredibly naive. They might not be based out of Canada, but they do business in Canada. They have customers and infrastructure in Canada. Canadian laws are very relevant to their business.

        I think their biggest impact will be they’ll have to pull their Canadian servers and stop selling to Canadians.

          thats what I mean. If they actually do that it really shows they mean business (I know an ironic turn of phrase in this instance) when it comes to their policies. I get a little doubtful about vpns but if they leave the canadian market do to this law it would show they stand by what they say.
