It all depends on the numerous and redundant interconnections between
the hosting service and a Canadian client, again depending on the
network where the client is located. The resilient nature of Internet
means that there are more than one route from point A to point B. The
Linux traceroute command can help in establishing a possible route
between you and hosting provider. Some routes may transit in USA, others
may not.
So I would not use a Canadian-only route a criteria to say that a
hosting provider is Canadian. I would rather ask about the hosting
datacenter location to be in Canada.
That's my opinion.

James,
If they did go through the US (as some do), would you still consider
them a "Canadian Web Host"?
Is the routing up to them or your ISP though?
