You can't. You just transfer a blob of random radio noise data to a server in Canada.

I have always thought that every encryption system must have constant transmission up/downstream rates no matter if you are sending or receiving any data. You connect and begin sending 1Mbit every second. And it will just filter the nonsense packets for when you send receive real data.

It doesn't have to be a perfect technical solution. They can outlaw VPNs - they just make it a law. Enforcement will be selective, although I guess for some well-known handshakes they could perform blocking.

If they detect something like what you described, they can flag your account, ask for justification, use as "evidence", etc.

They can certainly try to outlaw it.

In the US you can be jailed for contempt of court until you're able to decrypt a "blob of random radio noise data": http://forums.truecrypt.org/viewtopic.php?t=23969
