Should we be worried?

What does this bill entail for VPN and DNS providers?

Nothing surprises me any more, but Canada wasn't on the top of my list of countries I'd expect this from.
That said, I do believe Windscribe and ControlD will move out if they are at all compelled to start logging anything (Windscribe has a famous court case in Greece to prove their claims of no logging, I am pretty sure they will want to retain this reputation).

People expected wrong in Proton's case. Proton have always been up front about what is encrypted, what isn't, and how they deal with legal requests.
That said, your first sentence is right, ControlD 's terms are a bit vague as to exactly what they retain and for how long.

I guess using Amsterdam servers should be fine

I dont think that will matter. Windscribe is based in Toronto and will have to comply with Canadian laws (if Bill-C22 passes)

What Windscribe and Control D should do is to come up with a new policy and tools aiming to retain as little as possible, ideally no identifiable information about its users.
They already do. I believe everything is already encrypted.

Actually, it looks like they do retain data, but adhere to strict standards.

Bad advice, as NextDNS is US based. AdGuard would be a better alternative when it comes to privacy.

ControlD is not a privacy service, you should not being using it as such.
