This fountain was purchased because it was not plastic and saw it on a site on constipation for cats and was promoted as one that cats would use. However, it is expensive. It is very heavy,...

I had to use a dropper with this since it was kind of hard to put it in my cat's ears. I cleaned my cats ears first, then I put the R-7M cleaner in her ears. Next, I inserted 10 drops into each...

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.
Can Canada do this?

The answer to your question is yes and no. Yes, because you can try anyone in absentia. No, because the likelihood that any of these people will be brought to justice for their crimes is nil.

On one part I really want this guy to be convicted, because he has done some evil. On the other part I am concerned about the political and economic reprocussions for Canada.

A point of clarification regarding the thread title: Canada is not doing anything. There is a lawsuit being brought in Canada, but the plaintiff is not Canada; it is 5 individuals, one or more of whom are Canadian citizens. They can bring a lawsuit, and it appears that it has met all the criteria for proceeding; whether it will do them any good is another story.
Based on the article, it seems that there's at least a reasonable expectation that the judgment will go in their favour, but what is the likelihood of their collecting damages? Slim to none, if you ask me -- and I think "Slim" just left the room. I'm guessing that all the benefit they'll get out of this action is publicity.

I think the lawsuit seems to be primarily to bring attention to China's human rights abuses. Maybe the victims can't collect damages (although if they win, then maybe they can somehow attach some of the defendants' Canadian assest, if there are any) but if people rebel & boycott Chinese goods, then there could be an impact that will help other unfortunate Chinese prisoners. As they say, "Power to the masses"
