In the case of an individual in the US who attempts to sue a Canadian and set the court date in their State, I think the Canadian would have to get a lawyer or show up in the state in order to fight for the actual hearing to be in Canada

I got sued in the US and Canada both on the same day, both alledging the same violations of US law.
There was no comparable law in Canada at the time and still isnt.
In the case of an individual in the US suing a Canadian, the individual can sue either in the US or Canada or both. The Canadian will have to defend wherever the suit is, you can't petition a court to change countries, it wont happen.
