Is a rhino's horn and elephant tusk made of the same substance?
No, an elephant's tusk is ivory, while a rhino's horn is made up of compressed hairs.
No rhinos aren't blind, but a rhino can be born blind, or become blind.
---------------------------------------------------------
It should be noted that while rhinos have horrible eye sight much of the current problems stem from inbreeding. There were few of them so to increase the population there was no choice but to have rhinos breed with siblings. Therefore all these problems from being infertile, to being born blind, going blind and other health problems developed.
No. A rhino is a mammal, whilst dinosaurs were reptiles. Dinosaurs are descendents from birds. Mammals give birth to live young, feed their young with milk, usually have fur or hair, and are warm-blooded. Reptiles lay eggs, have scales, and are cold-blooded.
Rhinos are mammals and dinosaurs are reptiles.
No, rhinos are not dinosaurs.
Is a rhino's horn thickly matted hair?
Yes, a rhinoceros horn is made of the same substance that fingernails and hair is made of, known as Keratin. As an interesting addition, the rhinoceros's horn grows about 1-3 inches per year and the longest recorded rhinoceros horn was five feet in length.

Nutritionally, it's possible. They're not poisonous.
But it'd be a hugely immoral thing to do due to their endangered status.
And virtually impossible to do it in a legal manner since they are all protected species.
Answer
No, of course not. They are an endangered species, some species such as the Black rhino are critically endangered. Besides, I doubt they would taste good because of here incredibly tough structure.
All rhinos that exist today live in tropical climates. Canada would be too cold for them and probably wouldn't have the necessary plants for them to eat, especially in the winter. Winter would kill them by starvation or exposure. However, they can survive in Canadian zoos.
