99% of Calgarians are going to be upset that a store is encouraging a 'green' attitude' even if only at a superficial level? I don't think so.
I think the spots are a marketing gimmick used by the stores that have them that are intended to encourage shoppers who have this type of attitude (even those who don't drive hybrids) that they are concerned about the planet/energy use/pollution. I don't think a marketing gimmick is enough to make anyone mad enough to vandalize someones car, never mind the 99% you are claiming.
By using your logic, houses protected by Alarm Force would be burnt to the ground when the sign showed up on the lawn, due solely on their FAN 960 advertising.

Yes, most Calgarians would be upset that stores are providing these spots. This goes beyond promoting a green attitude, this actually infringes upon an individuals rights.
