Jurisdiction?

Confused. How does a Canadian court order that signs be posted on property located in the US? Am I correct in assuming the B&B owner an US citizen?

How about asking the congress to represent the citizens. Are they not the ones that tell are representatives what they want? Not an appointee telling the people what he wants.
