Dedicated Canadian server?

I am in Ontario Cananda and connect to the US-East servers, which appear to be pretty full based on the latency I see. It would be nice to have a Canadian specific server for speed purposes (there are a lot of great and fast COs in Toronto & Vancouver) and a bit of data sovereignty.

Canadian users would benefit from locally installed servers through reduced search latency as well as keeping some of this data within Canada.

+1. I have requested this in the past specifically for Vancouver but as Google GCN doesn't offer anything in Western Canada, the closest is Oregon. There is, however, a presence in Montreal and Toronto, where the majority of Canadians live. This would be a great addition for Canadian subscribers.

I saw the OP upvoted my reply just today so I thought it would be a good time to poke the team to see if anything has shifted.

Dustin haha yeah I just noticed for some reason I was connecting to US-West with over 200ms latency, and came to check on this. I've also blasted this out on my socials to hopefully have some more upvotes. This would be an excellent addition!
