This article above suggests that you might not be able to.

This one below says that you can:

If you have (1) a total of one, misdemeanor conviction; (2) at least five and as many as ten years have elapsed since you completed the sentences for the conviction; and (3) the conviction would not be considered a serious crime in Canada, then you are eligible to apply for “deemed rehabilitation.” In evaluating each case, Canada officials use Canadian definitions of what constitutes a misdemeanor or a serious offense.  In Canada, serious offenses include theft, assault, manslaughter, dangerous driving and driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  For a complete list of criminal offenses in Canada, consult the Canadian Criminal Code. Most felony convictions in the United States are equivalent to serious criminality in Canada.

Deemed rehabilitation is determined at Canadian ports of entry.  You are not required to submit an application to be deemed rehabilitated and further, there is no fee for deemed rehabilitation.   Should you choose to apply, you must bring with you: (1) United States passport or birth certificate, (2) a copy of court documents for each conviction, and proof that all sentences were completed, (3) a recent FBI identification record, (4) recent police certificates from the state where the conviction(s) occurred, and from any state where a person has lived for six months or longer in the last 10 years. You will be deemed rehabilitated automatically if at least ten years have passed since you completed the sentence imposed upon you.

Be aware that requesting rehabilitation does not guarantee that the request will be approved.  Thus, prior to arriving at the port of entry, you are strongly advised to contact a Canadian visa office to see if you qualify.
