Since an Ontario court would not consider any of these US laws in deciding a case it is not enforceable in the US.

Do you honestly believe your words? This is CANADA, not the Congo. Do you think Ford, GE and other major companies would set up huge facilities in Canada if they didn't believe they would be protected under the principles of legal reciprocity?

Get up to speed. There is precedence and a new focus on making the world's legal systems work together.

Research transnational litigation. Read the opinions of the Ontario Bar. Read about The Hague Choice of Court Convention.

The Hague Choice of Court Convention represents a significant step forward towards improved harmonization of international trade law by providing greater certainty and predictability for parties involved in business-to-business (B2B) agreements and transnational litigation. The Hague Choice of Court Convention offers a viable alternative to arbitration as a method of transnational dispute resolution. At a minimum, functional reciprocity between Contracting States is more likely to be achieved through this multilateral treaty, which codifies the private international law principles of comity, good faith and order and fairness, espoused by most common law courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada.
