I've got the canonical:

<link href="http://www.Site.com/Blog/how-to-know-when-this" rel="canonical" />


Is it ok if this is on the page it is pointing to?

Also I'm putting it on all these pages:
www.Site.com/Blog/how-to-know-when-this http://www.Site.com/Blog/how-to-know-when-this/ www.Site.com/Blog.aspx?ID=1 http://www.Site.com/Blog/how-to-know-when-this/?q=


Is this correct useage?

Update to this question:
Google says it is OK to point the canonical tag to itself. Bing recommends against it.

That's perfectly fine to do. It's just redundant and doesn't do any harm.
