If an author's Canadian, I'll pay slightly more attention when browsing (the library puts these little maple-leaf stickers on the spines of Canadian-authored books, which helps them stand out).
But ultimately my reading choices are based on the book's actual appeal, and I don't limit myself or even give Canadian authors first preference when it comes to trying out new stuff.
Though I admit to being morbidly drawn to stories set in Canada by people who aren't Canadian and have not lived here for an extended period of time, just to see how horribly and hilariously wrong they've gotten things.
However, if it turns out they're Canadian and I like their work, I'll probably talk up their books to people in the recs threads a little more than I might have otherwise.
Gotta help support local industry if it's producing worthwhile product, don'tchaknow.
