Wrong. 

It actually increases the likelihood! Read more in this article by CBC with Seismologist Alison Bird.

"The roughly two-week long phenomenon happens when seismic stress shifts onto the fault area where the Juan de Fuca and North American plates lock together. That causes thousands of mini-tremors and heightens the likelihood of a major earthquake event in B.C.," according to seismologist Alison Bird.
