My guess would be because the business being slandered was in Canada. Also because Canada had tougher laws in this area.

It's not that unusual. Keep in mind the number of criminals who cop a plea in one jurisdiction so they avoid harsher sentences in others.

Ted Bundy for example.

<quoted text>If what you tell me is true, what he did was contemptuous. However, if the Canadians want satisfaction in court, they need to do it in the U.S.A. as that is where the acts took place according to U.S. law and not Canadian law which has no standing in the U.S.
He may have typed it into his comp in the U.S., but it was published globally. The server farm that actually received and stores his silly blog may be in Canada .. or India ... or ...

We don't have law for that yet.

Common sense says the guy's guilty regardless of national boundaries.

Canadian law still has no standing here regardless of what technicalities you raise.

I thought about suing that a-hole. His webhost is based in San Francisco.
The stuff that got him sued in Canada relates to corruption in New Orleans. It appears some of the politicians under indictment were stashing their money in Canada according to what was alleged in court.
