Very true. But I challenge you to find a moose burger anywhere other than Canada.
On the whole it's hard to identify food as "typical" to Canada. But the same can be said of the US - beyond fast food (which is in every major city in the world; you really have to go out to the villages to get away from McDonald's etc) what is "typical" to the US? Did American's really invent apple pie for instance? (Maybe they did - I simply don't know.)
I know we're talking generalities here when we say "a typical dish from [insert country name here]", but when it comes right down to it, a lot of food is actually hard to classify as "typical". The North American concept of Chinese food for example doesn't always jive with "real" Chinese food in China. The similarities are adequately clear but the actual food (taste) isn't necessarily the same. Ditto Italian food. There are some true abominations in North America that pass as Italian cuisine.
