I won't sign the petition [was: Canadians need not apply!]

Well, there have been nationally mandated boycotts of other countries.
 From the USA, trading with Cuba, Iraqi, North Korea was highly 
restricted.
And there are some investment funds that will not invest in what they 
define as
socially undesirable companies.
While a for-profit corporation may choose to seek profit maximization, 
it need not do so,
especially if the corporation's mission is disclosed to potential 
shareholders.
