What rights do I have as a Canadian citizen, if my child is born in the U.S. and the dad is an American citizen?

Rights to what?

What rights do I have to custody

You have the same rights as an American. Nationality is irrelevant.

It would be helpful to know where the child lives and with whom.

With me and my folks in Canada.

Im not sure what rights I have. Thanks u for replying.

You need to file for custody of the child in court.

OK. Which court?

Do I file for custody where I live in Canada? I appreciate the help.

How long have you and your son lived in Canada? If it is long enough to claim residency then yes, start your court case there. You can get a lawyer to help you prepare your case because he/she will know what of your evidence you can and can't use and make everything easier.

I appreciate the advice and guidance from u and from anyone who can help me.

If you have lived in Canada long enough to establish residency there, that is where you file.

If your ex wants to challenge which court should here it, then that is another hearing for the court

Cadillac59 do u agree?

Or anyone else?

If you live with the child in Canada you should file your court case in Canada, in your locality. Yes (and I'm assuming you've lived in Canada with the child for a least the last 6 months-- if not, let me know because the answer might be different).
