I find it hard to beleive small claims in the USA isn't enforceable? It is a legal judgement from a court of law with a real judge.

Always appealed which means higher court, more hassle, attorneys now allowed/encouraged.

and here's the thing, even if their lawyer DOES show up, in Canada here if you loose you're only responsible for $100 in fees. they could get buried in legal fees really quickly and cripple them

While for most of us this does not apply because attorneys are not allowed in small claims courts [in any state I am aware of], it does present another issue I just remembered. This applies in at least California.
If you are incorporated you must be represented by an attorney in court. But since attorneys are not allowed in small claims court they lose, but will surely appeal.
Of course, if you are incorporated I think it makes it a little tough for you to file a small claims action. I am arguing with myself about this, so not really sure how that works.

You sure you went to law school? You can't just get granted a change of venue without a valid reason.

Then should probably start a coalition of Canadians to do this. Sounds like your laws are stricter.
