And the addresses located in The Netherlands (endpoints) is a perfect 
reason NOT to use this provider
since no other country in the world has (relatively speaking) more 
lawful intercepts than The Netherlands.

Really. Sad but true. All traffic is logged by law, and kept for the 
duration of 2 (two) years. The bill you talk
about for Canada was passed here a couple of years ago. Police are known 
to (illegally) conduct
search operations in these logs.

I would look for a vpn provider with endpoints in Sweden or (better) 
Switzerland.
