    rel=canonical is a tag normally used to designate that your page is a duplicate of another page. This is to avoid a duplicate content penalty by Google.

    If this tag is on one of your pages (and it's not a duplicate of another page), that is pointless to have.

    You'll need to check your source code. Right click on the page in question and hit View Page Source (or similar -- it varies depending on your browser).

    Then hit Ctrl + F for search and type rel=canonical to find it.

    What does that tag say? Does it indicate another page which is, indeed, a copy of your content?

    If not, you should delete that line.
