No. They're not government run, they're publicly traded corporations. They are, however, fairly tightly regulated, and extremely large and few considering the population they serve. Assuming a bank was to go bankrupt, then you'd be able to get back what you had in your account, up to a certain amount. But considering the size of the banks around here, and the fact that banks can always ask the Bank of Canada to lend them money if they're in trouble, it's extremely unlikely that any of them will go bankrupt in the near future.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
