Actually, Canadian citizens could not have dual citizenship.

Actually, that's not true.

"Although Canada restricted dual citizenship between 1947 and 1977, there were some situations where Canadians could nevertheless legally possess another citizenship."

Your link isn’t working for me.

I’m guessing they weren’t allowing them circa 1970, the year of Cruz Jr’s birth, to maintain Cuban citizenship.

Nevertheless, the general rule under the 1947 law was that they could NOT have dual citizenship, so that a strong indication that Cruz Sr would have dropped his Cuban citizenship when adopting Canada, and there’s circumstantial evidence that Cruz Senior did not continue with his Cuban citizenship, i.e., that he renounced Canadian citizenship when he acquired US citizenship.

There is no evidence that Cruz took advantage of any exception.
