If I was in your position I might consider putting some bulk
demagnetizers near my hard drives with a panic switch, with backups to a
secure unknown location. Don't know how they work in Canada, but here in
the USA, they keep your equipment once they seize it and build a case
from your hard drives.

By "full disk encryption" I guess your talking about access via a pass

It occurs to me that in any case where even one operator knows or has
possession/knowledge of the keys or backups,
