It’s an intriguing idea to ignore American IPs, but then why would American businesses sell their products in Canada at all if IPs aren’t being respected? It also sounds like Canadian consumers would be hindered in the long term because jailbreaking isn’t performed by the majority of consumers (how many people currently use a VPN to bypass Netflix’s region locks)

Fighting dirty. I like it.

They might not. But then, most people aren’t going to do things that violate the IP rights in the first place, so they’d be willingly giving up sales.
And they’re welcome to do so.
Most of the decision makers for those businesses voted for this. Let them suffer for it. Forever, if possible.
