No, canvases are resizeable.

from Tkinter import *
mFrame = Frame(master=None)
mFrame.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
canvas = Canvas(master=mFrame, bg="red")
canvas.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
mFrame.mainloop()

The tricky part is where and when to use the correct options for the
packer. In your example, the frame was not resizeable, thus the canvas
was not resizeable.
