Living near the border of Canada, we see Canadian money all the time. You will frequently get Canadian coins as change and then they don't work in the vending machines and you can't CoinStar them. It would be great if a local store/restaurant, etc took the Canadian money. Addtionally, I found $25 Canadian shoved in a pocket in my purse a few weeks ago and had to call around to find a bank that would exchange it. I'm sure if somewhere around here took it as currency, they'd get business from people who want to get rid of their Canadian dollars. I can't see anybody being insulted by a business who elected to take both forms of currency. I'd also hazard a guess that 5% of the people working in my building are Canadian and have to carry both forms of currency constantly. That's got to be a hassle. I just don't see anybody here interpreting it as catering to illegal immigrants from Canada, but simply as a convenience for those who cross the border frequently. It certainly doesn't seem to be worth death threats.
