This is still so easy to circumvent.

If it is purely by domain, switch away from google.ca and use google.com to get the results you need.

If it uses geolocation of any kind, use a VPN that allows you to switch between endpoints, and use an endpoint in the States to bring up Canadian information.

In the end, this is nothing more than privacy theatre, in that these changes are only cosmetic and skin-deep.

Granted, I am of the firm opinion that all data is sacrosanct, and that the only thing that should be scrubbable from the Internet is misinformation that has been _proven_ to be demonstrably false by a court of law. Things like prior convictions should not be admissible unless you were later cleared of all charges and the convictions are clearly not in the public’s interest.

People keep trying to force the internet to follow country borders but they don't understand it just doesn't work that way. It's kinda like when your vegetarian neighbours keep complaining about BBQ smells wafting over to their property: the wind doesn't know or care about your property lines.

I don't think any information should be removed/removable from the internet, as long as there is demand for it. Users need to be a bit more savvy for expecting and identifying misinformation though.
