I don't know if you can given that you are now a Canadian citizen. Germany compared to the rest of the EU is a bit funny on dual citizenship. I don't see no reason though why your birth cert wouldn't do it or even your old passport though as NBC mentioned that you aren't a German citizen anymore could affect things although for many countries that you were born there is sufficient.
Further to the reasons mentioned it'd also be handy if your kids wanted to study in Europe from a fees POV as (in the UK at least) fees are tiered. Domestic-EU-International.

Other countries, such as Japan or Germany, allow dual nationalities until a certain age
In Germany, for instance, children of foreign-born parents have dual nationality until the age of 23, when they must decide which passport to keep. Only in exceptional cases, for example, if ''unreasonable conditions'' are imposed for giving up a foreign passport, will dual citizenship be permitted to continue.

Good luck. Germany seems to be the exception rather than the norm as far as the EU goes.
