Canadians in general need to get off US-based corporate social media. And search agents. And cloud storage. And VPNs.
Find a Mastodon instance (for example) based in Canada or elsewhere that reflects their interests; use a EU-based (much tougher security and privacy laws) search agent; consider cloud storage like Sync - based in Canada; and look at where their VPNs are based. Again, the EU (even free level at Proton) a safer bet for that.
