Excuse me? You managed to "demote the upgraded AD 2003 from NT4"
Could you clarify this please?

Actually these zones should be:
canada.domain.com
and
_msdcs.canada.domain.com

The _msdcs.canada.domain.com is important and all DCs in the forest should
register in the zone, without these records replication could break.

You should not have to do anything, if DDNS is working and replication is
working each DC will register serveral SRV records at least one A record,
two A records if it's a GC.

Instead of using Dcdiag /test:dns use netdiag /fix then, netdiag /test:dns
which will test all DNS registrations for the DC.
