Data hosted in the United States is subject to U.S. legislation, including the CLOUD Act — which can compel American companies to hand over data regardless of Canadian privacy protections. For Canadian organizations in healthcare, finance, law, government, or First Nations, this isn't a technicality. It's a material compliance risk.
