As noted by the others, there is nothing that prevents you from having three nationalities unless the laws of any one of the countries creates a problem. UK law is perfectly comfortable with dual and multiple nationality. US law now recognises dual and multiple nationality and provides that such acts as being naturalised abroad will only lead to loss of US citizenship if you perform the act with the intention to relinquish US citizenship. (The US does, however, have a strict policy of only dealing with US citizens in their capacity as US citizens. This includes a requirement that you use your US passport when entering and exiting the US.) I don't have any particular knowledge about Canadian nationality law, but I see no reason why the Canadian government would object to dual or multiple nationality.
If you really want to renounce your US citizenship, you can make an appointment with the US Embassy to make a formal oath and receive a certificate of loss of nationality. However, I don't think that this is a good idea given that your interest in losing your US citizenship was based entirely on a mistaken belief that you had no choice but to relinquish a nationality.
Whatever you do, don't renounce your US citizenship for tax reasons. If you are found to have done so, then you will remain liable to US taxation for seven years and will be prevented from visiting the US.
