For SEO reasons, you should choose one to be your main domain, and the other you can create a 301 redirect.

Leaving two domains separate and pointing to the same site, showing the same content is bad, because Google and other search engines will understand that that content is a copy and that makes pagerank fall.

For your specific case, the tag canonical will not solve, because it can only point to the main content that should be in the same domain where it was inserted.

The most common uses of the Canonical tag are:

Page where the tag was assigned: http://exemplo.com.br/tag-canonical/

<link rel="canonical" href="http://exemplo.com.br/tag-canonical/">

Prevents searchers from understanding the following pages as duplicated content:

I think I’ve been able to get more or less what the use of this tag

Just to cool off, again, if you have two domains, choose one to be the main one and on the other point out a 301 redirect to your main domain.
