This is most likely coming from the Tidy HTML validator packaged with Aptana's version of Eclipse. If you open the preferences for your HTML browser within Aptana, you can add a regular expression to filter the validation errors.

This can be done by going to the Window > Preferences dialog window. Then, expand Aptana > HTML and select 'Validation'.

The filter would probably look like this:

.*<canvas> is not recognized.*
