Authorization and Policy Scopes for Phoenix Apps
While it is definitely possible to roll out something by hand, it usually makes sense not to reinvent the wheel if well-maintained and tested libraries are available. Canada and Bodyguard are two of the more popular ones that I have seen in the community.

10 Years(-Ish) of Elixir
There are packages on Hex that haven't been updated in a long time but still work perfectly (Canada, for example: https://github.com/jarednorman/canada). Elixir itself doesn't change much... in fact there's no plans for a 2.0 on the horizon, so the fact that packages don't change often isn't a big deal if they still do what they say they do and aren't hurting for more features.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing canary and canada you can also consider the following projects:
bodyguard - Simple authorization conventions for Phoenix apps
Phauxth - Not actively maintained - Authentication library for Phoenix, and other Plug-based, web applications
authorize - Rule based authorization for Elixir
openmaize - No longer maintained - was an Authentication library for Plug-based applications in Elixir
sheriff - Build simple and robust authorization systems with just Elixir and Plug
