that's because non-US is for packages which aren't allowed to be
distributed from the US, not for people outside the US.  you should also
add lines such as:

deb http://mirror.direct.ca/linux/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://mirror.direct.ca/linux/debian/ stable main non-free contrib

though i wouldn't actually recommend using mirror.direct.ca as they're
missing some packages.  there's a list of mirrors somewhere on debian.org
