Ali's mother Hania and his uncle were also killed, while Ali later died of his injuries in hospital. Three other Lebanese relatives were also injured, family members in Montreal said.
An estimated 40,000 Canadians remain in Lebanon.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered his condolences to the families of the victims but he refused to criticise Israel or question its use of force.
He said it was the kidnappings of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah guerrillas that started the conflict and said an escalation was "inevitable".
Isnt is amazing no one ever mentions that they where captured in Hezbollah territory.
