Hi gurglypipe,
You are the only person in the world using landuse=canal on an area that already has water=canal as well as waterway=canal! What are you trying to achieve with that tagging?
E.g. see this one: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/761979872#map=18/54.16198/-2.73732
But there are 75 more! -

It’s for mapping the canal corridor: the land beside a canal which is associated with it. The tag is analogous to landuse=railway and landuse=highway.
While it’s not rendered by the default renderer, it can be useful for calculating land area used by canals, or similar GIS tasks

Then it would help others if you created a wikipage to support your view. Like this one:
