The better response is consumer boycott of as many American based products as financially and humanly possible. That is what really makes people fill the pitch down south and supports Canadian business instead.

When all this is over we better remember that free trade and specialization actually make us richer (through access to export markets) and give us better and cheaper goods as consumers (imports). There is a danger that this Canadian protectionist sentiment outlives its usefulness.
But for now, both is the correct answer. Tariffs are the government's way to push consumers to participate in avoidance of American goods.
