It looks a lot like a Canadair CT-114 Tutor.

This is the CL-41 Tutor (CL is for Canadair Limited), but the Canadian airforce calls it CT-114. That is the only 100% Canadian designed military jet airplane still in service, and it was also the first totally design from scratch airplane Canadair built.
Now almost completely retired from the inventory, that are only used by the Snowbirds, the aerobatic demonstration team from the Canadian air force.
Canadair is now owned by Bombardier.

The Snowbirds fly the Canadair CT-114 Tutor, a Canadian built jet used by the Canadian Forces as its basic pilot training aircraft until 2000. The Tutor weighs approximately 7170 lbs (3260 kgs) and is powered by a J-85 engine producing 2,700 pounds of thrust. Top speed of the aircraft, with smoke tanks attached, is 412 knots (470 mph or 750 km/h).
The basic Tutor is only slightly modified for use by the Snowbirds. Modifications include: a smoke generating system, a unique paint scheme for added crowd appeal, and a highly tuned engine to enhance engine response in low level flying.
With its high manoeuverability and relatively slow speed, the Tutor is ideally suited to the formation and aerobatic roles of the Snowbirds.

I thought it was a BAC Strikemaster until I saw the T tail and no tip tanks. So I guess the others beat me to it with the tutor. I never saw one of those before.
