The Square Canada corporation may still be directly prosecuted for violating the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act. It is designed to prevent the United States from interfering with Canadian business.

That Square Canada has a parent corporation is immaterial. Seize assets from the Canadian company to pay the $1.5 million fine for violating the act.

If this is unacceptable, then Square Canada is no longer a legitimate business and Square can't have a legally operating subsidiary in Canada.
