Yes, it has the potential to affect the internet in Canada and elsewhere. The server itself will still be running somewhere in the world, but the US government can poison its DNS entry and force search engines to remove it from their results.
If you knew the IP address of the server you could still access it, but if you typed the URL into your browser or tried searching for it on Google (and those two methods are how 99.999999% of the world uses the web), you could not access the site.
