Now that we have found out that the government of Switzerland has been giving the CCP free reign in their country can we still trust protonmail? If not what other alternitiives are out there? Asking because I'm trying to migrate away from all things google.

Good question, proton user here!
This is what I believe. Nothing is truly secure.
Swiss guy here. I’d trust my people. If corrupted lawmakers were to make pm.me translucid, its developpers would let us know. Btw, Swiss people also make instant messaging Threema app which I do recommend.
Yes
Never fully trust anyone including or especially self hosted solutions. That being said, ProtonMail is encrypted at rest and encrypted with a key that they generate but don’t store. Could that be bullshit? Absolutely. Hard to say but I’d be less concerned about them and more concerned about every other service.
It comes down to key management and encryption scheme.
The encryption looks mathmatically sound and is verifable.
Who holds the keys? I have mine, but did they store it when I entered it during sign up?
You want the truth? There are no truly safe alternatives you can trust.
The closest you could find is a crowd sourced deal. And even then it’s not a guarantee.
Just a suggestion. I recommend using Microsoft for your email. It is called Outlook which is a cool name. They also have cloud services if needed.
