Why does Canada have a very short coastline along the pacific ocean?

At some 15,985 miles or 25,725 kilometres, Canada's Pacific coastline is hardly short. If you mean why does Alaska's border extend so far south along the Pacific Coast, it was the result of a treaty between Russia and the United Kingdom (which ruled Canada); when the United States bought Alaska from Russia, the territory limits established went with it, although the eastern part of the border was in dispute for some time until a British arbiter ruled in the U.S.' favor.
