Then why don't they just strap them to the roof?

Clearance problem!

Paddles? We don't need no stinking paddles.

That car is in probably in captive service between Cochrane and Moosonee Ontario.  The Polar Bear Express seems to be the only way to transport cars, trucks, canoes and people up to Moosonee.  There does not appear to be any roads in the area.

Getting a little bit off topic, but about 10 years or so ago, using a train to reach an otherwise inaccessible location to launch a raft was provided by the Idaho Northern & Pacific Railroad (Thunder Mountain Line).  The rafts were hauled on flatcars to the launch site upstream from Smiths Ferry.  http://idahoptv.org/productions/specials/allaboard/thunder.html

Now, the launch location has been moved downstream to Banks (because they can no longer take passengers through the shortest solid rock railroad tunnel in the U.S.) and it is accessible by vehicles, so only the rafters ride the train.  http://www.thundermountainline.com/RaftandRails.html

Yes, the canoe car is or was used on the mixed passenger train to Moosonee
