The important thing to take away from this case is that if you are a Canadian being sued in the United States, you should not ignore it. If you do, a default judgment will likely be entered against you, and it will almost always be enforceable in Canada.
if i remember correctly about this case the web site was hosted on a us host provider

who happened to have a jurisdictional requirement in the contract that dictated a US state for all disputes (not just disputes with the host)

that is a significant difference between this case and that one.
