This is where the market comes in. Canadians should choose services that have encryption built into them. There are, for example, a number of different web mail products. To my knowledge, Google's Gmail is the only major web mail service that has encrypted connections built into it. So if you use Gmail, every time you connect, by default your connection is encrypted. Even if you're connecting over an unsecured network, your connection via Gmail is secure. Google has invested the time and the money into building encryption into its products. This is where the market can be helpful, because Canadians should choose products and services that have encryption built into them.
