>In short, if you're not in the EU, do not care about EU and never will, you can largely ignore the GDPR.

That's not entirely true. You can go to a Canadian court to enforce an EU judgement against assets in Canada. So for example, if you cause a car accident in Germany, the plaintiff can sue you in Germany to get a judgement and then sue you in Canada to enforce that judgement. How Canadian (or US or otherwise) courts will treat a GDPR judgement remains to be seen, but it's not a guarantee that it won't be enforced.
