I doubt it'll cause many issues in Canada. For the most part anime is
still not that widely known in Canada, it's still viewed primarily as a "for
children" thing. I'm not saying there aren't fans, but unless you're willing
to pay through the nose it's not that accessible and there is very little
that actually makes it onto television. I could see issues arising if it was
shown during primetime on a station like YTV, but that's as likely to
happen as seeing YTV show Hellsing. If it did, I'm sure it would only take
a couple hours before the legions of overly concerned parents and
religious fanatics began raising a stink over it (note: there is actually
the Concerns Parents Association of Canada). If you doubt it, there
were complaints over Pokemon and Digimon; parents had issues over
seeing small cute creatures fight and injure each other.

That's the draw back of living in a country that tries to please everyone
and is as politically correct as possible. Everyone's opinion matters, no
matter how uninformed or otherwise.
