Yes you can. But being across the border does make it more difficult.

Unlike the US, there has been no high profile case involving AOL in Canada. I believe that there has been some American company that made an attempt to sue some Toronto based spamming group. I forgot the details but I don't think it went too far.

That being said, there are no specific laws against spamming in Canada. So even if AOL, MSN or Earthlink where to sue, for lack of a better term, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on. They could try to extradite someone to the US but that would make it cost prohibitive for them.
