Hi
1 - What you see is not really important, the URL in the canonical tag is simply URL-encoded and Google will know how to handle it
2 - Do you know what produces this canonical tag?
Joomla by default does not insert a canonical, unless you have entered a domain name in the options of the Joomla SEF system plugin. If you did that, then remove the domain name: the Joomla-generated canonical is not useful, it was not meant for "SEO" canonicalization and is not able to determine which URL is canonical.
And you don't need a canonical tag if you don't have duplicate content.
