While a Spellskite you control is enchanted by your Canopy Cover, it can’t change the target of spells or abilities your opponents control to itself.  This follows the theme for this week.  The final set of targets must be legal.  So it may not be the best choice to use Canopy Cover on your own Spellskite if your intent is to redirect your opponent’s spells and abilities towards it.  However, you could still redirect a spell or ability you control to Spellskite.  For example, if you tried to equip another creature you control, but your opponent destroys that creature in response, you can redirect your own equip ability to Spellskite instead.
 
Now I know you may be thinking, “I should put Canopy Cover on my opponent’s Spellskite!” Well, yes, you can do that. But don’t get ahead of yourself. Since you still control the Canopy Cover, the only person who can’t target the Spellskite is its controller (or your other opponents, if you’re in a multiplayer game).  Spellskite can still redirect anything you control that could target it.  In short, you’re probably not getting the effect you want this way.
