Greetings. I know France is one... apparently even when the Prez travels
to France, the SS must give the French Fed the codes to their crypto
so they can spy in... Needless to say, that does not improve my
opinion of the french... #$@&. Just pick any socialism-based country
and you can be sure their Fed wants to know what you're up to. That
would include UK, France, Sveeeeden, and just about everyone else. Some
make expressed allowances to simulate freedom but you try creating a
secure-from-them communication medium and you'll see the axe fall.

Take care.

P.S. Some other comment on this thread re: canada and cuba... the US
and cuba have idiological differenced ... canada is a few smidgons
away from _being_ cuba... socialised-everything and all. IMO.
