When viewing an entity through View Mode Page, the canonical meta tag refers to the entity canonical url. This is problematic when publishing public content, since search engines will consider the page duplicate content while it actually an independent page.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
@chucksimply - I can see in the browser's "view source" that the the duplicate canonical url is still there as mentioned above in the lawnmower example.
