Basketball
Dr. James A. Naismith, from Almonte, Ontario, was a physical director at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. He invented basketball as a game that would relieve the boredom associated with traditional gymnastics.
Originally, half-bushel peach baskets were nailed to the wall of the gymnasium, but spectators interfered with the play so a version of the current backboard was designed.

rana, when you propose a question with the word 'Which', we here at answers expect to have a choice or a pick, if you will.
So anyway to your question: Most Popular Canadian Invention during the 1920's Hummmm, Distilleries! with Alcohol for sale to the 'dry side'.
You did say popular. It's not an invention proper but it was ingenious.
