Storing personal information on US servers

Great article from Industry Canada about the do's and dont's regarding data storage on US servers.
The article is a bit dated, I can't confirm if things have changed since 2008 .

"Except in certain situations in British Columbia and Nova Scotia, Canadian Provincial Laws Do No Prohibit The Transfer Of Personal Information To The United States. Public sector bodies and their private sector service providers located in most Canadian provinces are not prohibited from transferring personal information outside of Canada......every other province's laws are clear that the transfer of personal information is permitted."
