OPINION
CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
This appeal requires us to decide whether the exercise of personal jurisdiction over a Canadian defendant is reasonable.. The district court concluded that it was not, and therefore granted the defendant’s Rule 12(b)(2) motion to dismiss. But we find that the district court did not properly balance the burden on the Canadian defendant against the interests of the plaintiff and the forum state. Because we believe that the exercise of personal jurisdiction is reasonable, we reverse.
