It is alleged that the Canaanites had a lot of peculiar rituals.

So do Jews and Christians. ;-D

[Verginius Rufus]

Their peculiar rituals included killing children.

Joshua predicted after the destruction of Jericho that the man who attempted to rebuilt the city would lay his firstborn son in its foundation and his youngest son in its gates (Joshua 6.26). This was fulfilled in the reign of King Ahab by Hiel of Bethel (I Kings 16.34). This seems to be following a Canaanite practice.

There is lots of evidence of child sacrifice at Carthage, a Phoenician (Canaanite) colony.
