Canada is a multicultural country. To make Canadian cuisine, you would need to cook Musk Ox, Seal, Arctic Hare, Salmon etc. The Newfies make seal flipper pie, the Frenchies make poutine, tortierre, pea soup. Swiss Chalet is a Canadian chain of restaurants serving rotisserie chicken and ribs(and a bit of other stuff). The average restaurant in Canada does not do Canadian cuisine.
I was raised on German - Hungarian food. We also did stuff over charcoal in the warmer months i.e. pigtails, steaks, hamburgers. Now there is more cuisine diversity because more asians are immigrating.
If you wish to go more upscale, you'll find food such as elk on the menu.
