Canonical Tag on blog template?

Looking for the communities input on this.

When using working with a blog on the WIX platform. Would you use a canonical tag on the template blog or no canonical tag?

Here are the known issues and concerns.

• WIX does not allow you markup individual blog posts because it is setup dynamically (and one of the pains of working with it from an SEO standpoint).
• You can, however, add markup and tags to the template post and blog page.
• If no canonical is used - you run into duplicate content issues all over the map. For example, if there are 15 blog posts. There will be 15 duplicate content, 15 duplicate metadata, etc.
• If you use a canonical tag. All the duplicate issues go away. However, you then get an error of 15 pages not found on the sitemap.
• WIX platform does not allow you to manually edit the sitemap. (Another pain of working with the platform).

Although, I complain about the platform there is nothing I can do about it. This is what the client is on currently. So, looking for the input from the community on how they would handle this "issue"
