I imagine going after US servers hosting non compliant sites is in the US govs plans.

I'm in Canada also, but not overly concerned about their ablility to bother me in any criminal sense. Canada would have to have equivalent laws with similar penalties before they woud even consider extraditing. And anybody here knows that can take 10+ years if you don't want to go.
I understand they have tried, and been shot down trying to go after hosting companies before! They can't be held directly accountable for what other people put on he host.
My main concern is that they might somehow be able to interfere with the $$$ flow. That might open a NAFTA challenge that their restrictive laws interfere with Canadians trying to do business in the USA. Actualy NAFTA might be an option for US WMs also from the opposite side, because they would not be able to compete on an even basis.
Best wait and see.
