Just as the title asks, where is lemmy.ca hosted?

I have flagfox installed on my firefox.

It tells me that lemmy.ca is hosted in Washington state. Link: https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=208.87.97.51&host=lemmy.ca. I'd like to know if this is accurate.

Ideally I'd like to have the data be hosted in Canada and hence under Canadian law as opposed to US law.

I'd also be interested in hearing other opinions on this.

Thanks for the answer.

I wasn't aware that Telus ships traffic through the states. I wonder if other ISPs do that as well. Could I have a source for this? It'd be interesting to read on. When I was trying to find something about this I only get links to Telus's international website.

It looks like you're using Hyper Expert (Link: https://www.hyperexpert.com/). How have they been? Is there a reason why you chose Hyper Expert?

I have a few websites myself so I'm always wondering if I could have gone with a different host. Though I guess Lemmy is different as it is a social media website.
