You are talking about international business disputes. This is not that type of claim-there is no business-to-business agreement mentioned in the original lawsuit.

Ford, GE and other companies have a presence in Canada. They create Canadian subsidiaries that operate in Canada. That company is the company that is subject to Canadian law. Does this website company have operations in Canada? If they do that is at risk and that Canadian company would defend the claim. That is why Canadian sites like stockhouse take down posts when someone claims the post is libelous.

Their claim is that they have been defamed and that this web site and others are publishers and should be held liable as they might be in Canada. US law say no way unless the foreign court gives consideration to the protections of US laws. Laws like the 1st amendment or CDA. The Canada court will not consider those laws. This is the reason that foreign slander judgements are never enforced by US courts.

Research the relevant laws.
