It has not. It either increases prices on CDN goods exported to US or, reduces margins to those manufacturing and exporting goods for US markets if there are competitively priced alternatives available. Boycotting at the public level results in shaming and ostracising those who buy the boycotted product (social media, industry relations, peers, partners etc.). Boycotting at the Government levels results in sanctions and fines. This is not happening (yet). I worry that it might.
