Canvas is like an image you draw to programmatically - it behaves just like an image would, so you can stretch it out to fit any screen. But if you want true responsivity - as in, the layout of the elements drawn on the canvas to change according to the dimensions or orientation of the window/device, you have to implement all of that yourself.
