I won't be watching any of the Olympics in Russia and I will let any an every sponsor of the Olympics and Olympic coverage here in Canada that I will not be buying any of their products if I can avoid doing so due to Russia's stance on homosexuality.

I'd just like to throw out to you that all major sponsors of the Olympics have been on board since long before Putin enacted this law. For them to leave their sponsorship now, after having paid all that money, could seriously impact/harm their business.
If you want to boycott VISA now, by all means, but it seems a bit foolish to me to punish a company for something that changed so long after they made their investment.
