I don't really know about other areas (I'm in Utah), but I've never seen baked beans for breakfast. Corned beef hash is also rare around here, but I have seen it offered at a few restaurants.

Rohanna:
If I was getting an "all day breakfast" diner style breakfast most places in Canada, I would expect bacon (usually with the option of "breakfast sausages" or thick sliced ham), fried eggs, toast and jam. Most places coffee comes with the meal though you can generally get tea instead. Frequently a token piece of fruit makes an appearance, usually a few orange slices or cantaloupe.

edited to add: I forgot homefries frequently come with an all-day breakfast (I see homefries more than hashbrowns, locally).

The second most common local breakfast is Finn pancakes and breakfast sausage, with generous amounts of maple syrup over both.

P-p-p-penguin:
I had breakfast for dinner yesterday. It was delicious!

Brit here:
- Eggs. Preferrably fried, but scrambled will do.
- Sausages.
- Bacon.
- Toast.
- Mushrooms.
- Fried tomatoes.
- Hash browns.
- Black pudding.
- Baked beans.

I don't eat all of that (I eat most :D) but those are the main ingredients in my neck of the woods. You might have other things, like potato farls, but they're not that common.

audrey1962:
When I have breakfast*, it's almost always an omelette. I usually have mine with toast, no potatoes. Maybe some fruit, too.

*I'm not talking about my usual morning meal during the workweek - that's something quick like oatmeal or maybe a baked egg. But on weekends I have time to make breakfast.

ETA: I'm in Detroit, Mich., USA

aventurine:
It ain't breakfast unless there are grits involved.  Growing up, breakfast consisted of a fried egg, runny yellow, served with grits (salt & pepper), bacon (sometimes sausage patties) and a biscuit. 

My mother swears to this day she can't make biscuits.  I say she's the only person who should be allowed to make them.   :-*

Lapis sugars his grits.  I have no idea where he came from.
