Canadians have invented many things that are used everyday. Garbage bags, the electric oven, alkaline batteries, lawn sprinklers, odometers, insulin, walkie talkies, TV colourization, the electron microscope, plexiglass, road lines, the gas mask, egg cartons, peanut butter, and the Wonder bra were all invented by Canadians.

Most firearms manufactured in Canada of not of domestic design. One exception to this, however, is the Ross rifle, chambered in 7.7x56R (.303 British), and intended to replace the Short Magazine Lee Enfield. It had a straight pull bolt, as opposed to a traditional bolt action. It was, however, a very flawed design, and the Lee Enfield remained the standard service weapon of Canada.

No, Canada did not invent beer. Beer has been brewed and consumed for many thousands of years, long before Canada existed as a nation. Beer was consumed even in the very earliest Mesopotamian civilizations.

No. The first modern (i.e. battery-powered electric) hand-held light was patented in 1899 by David Misell, an Englishman working in the US. It is not clear who invented the first non-electric hand-held light, but as they predate the existence of Canada by at least several thousand years it's safe to say it wasn't a Canadian.
