I doubt I would eat out less because of it. I may spend $60 - $80 already for a dinner, so, I won't really miss the $5. I may, however, feel less compelled to tip the 20%.
That said, I already purchase large items in Alberta. I don't purchase anything expensive in BC.
This does not bode well for US tourism, who already views Canada as too expensive thanks to the high dollar, though.
