I live in Canada. I understand that the days are shorter in winter and longer in summer, and why the time change exists. But my question is: does the sun rise earlier in the summer or winter?

The Earth is positioned on an axis. In the winter, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, so the sun shines on that part of the earth less.
In the summer, the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, so the sun is able to shine longer every day.
I suggest you do a quick search about daylight hours related to the Earth’s axis. A visual aid might help you with this.
