A Canadian citizen has an automatic right of entry into Canada. Nobody else does (except the Queen). That means the agent will only care about what you're bringing in.
If you identify as a US citizen then the agent must still concern themselves with whether you should be let into the country.
All that is to say all the other posters are correct
I'm curious - if a Canadian citizen on a US passport tries to enter Canada but the agent decides to send them back, what happens if the Canadian then whips out his Canadian passport? Do they then get admitted as they can't be turned away?
