Rather unflattering to equate Canadas cuisine with Beaver Tail,a hunk of deep fried dough that is then smothered in sugar.
How about Bannock or Digby fillets,Muktuk,cod tongues,pemmican,sea pie

I've never heard of any of those. Come to think of it, I've never even heard of Beaver Tails up until recently. Canada isn't really known for its own famous cuisine. Except for maybe one I won't mention but even that is only known around North America I believe.

Some people in New Brunswick eat dulse, which is dried seaweed. You can eat it plain, or crush it and sprinkle it into fish chowder or over fish for seasoning. The exact same type of seaweed grows off the coast of Ireland and used to be harvested and eaten there in ye olden days, but I don't know if anyone does that anymore.
New Brunswickers also eat fiddleheads, the spring shoots of an edible type of wild fern. They do exist elsewhere, but aren't a common dish like they are in NB.
Acadians have some traditional recipes, like rapie pie, a poutine that is completely unlike Quebec poutine (Acadian poutine is pork wrapped in shredded potato and fried), and a vegetable & chicken soup whose name I've forgotten. Chicken fricot!
Moose meat burgers are popular in rural areas during hunting season. I've also had caribou, fried up like a beef steak. Atlantic salmon are commonly eaten in the Maritimes.
For commercial products: Habitant Pea Soup and Kraft Dinner!
Edited to add: Canadian beer and wine... Ice wine.
I love fiddleheads. They're sold in Quebec grocery stores in the spring.
Delicious!
I assume the OP is asking about cuisine specific to Canada. However, when I think of "Canadian food" I begin to long for all the foodstuffs I can't buy down here. A representative, but not exhaustive list, includes: Smarties, Crunchie bars, Areo bars, Caramilks, Wonderbars, Jersey milks, Sweet Maries, Hickory Stix, dill pickle flavored potato chips, Campbell's French Canadian pea soup, Dad's Cookies, and so much more.
Thought of a couple more things after seeing a sign for "Maritimer Donairs" in the neighbourhood I work in today.
Halifax Donair.
Ketchup Chips.
Canadian Cheese varieties.
Gooseberries and Salmonberries.
Calgary Style Ginger Beef.
Toutons (Newfoundland Fry Bread)
Lobster Rolls, like the McLobster
Cipaille
