Thunderbird mail

[LP]

Good Info Thanks Stephen,
If you use any tools to trace your connection you would be surprised how
many US Government Agencies you pass through.
The Canadian Government has been spying on Canadians for many years, they
use U.K. USA Military Exchange Officers to read data collected Locally, so
technically its not Canada spying on it's citizens.
And Encryption does not stop them.
