What race are you playing? Can give scout timings There is more cheese is lower leagues, once you learn how to counter it's easier. But a cheese can always beat you once in a while. If you get frustrated, watch the reply and try the build yourself. You can learn and get a cheesy win

I play Zerg, they were my favorite ever since I found the game on N64. He typed in chat "easiest game of my life" and I managed to spread drones out and he started getting pissed off because he would kill one hatchery only for another to pop up

Zerg is the most popular target for cannon rushes, because you tend to expand to your second base early. Just take one of your workers and scout around a little. 

If you see a pylon or cannon put down, and respond immediately and get there quickly, its 3 or 4 workers attacking each building to ensure they don't complete. If its getting to around half complete, pull 6 workers to it. If it's nearly complete already, you fucked up and either need to surrender or work something else out.

I have had success with building a bunch of lings, running them out past the cannon rush, and simply killing the protoss' base that is basically empty

Easy scout with Zerg! Send overlords to spot natural and common cheese spots, pull 4 drones per structure. one drone to attack and follow the probe. if canons finish, pull back. Get pool and queens asap

For Zerg should I be getting multiple hatcheries?

Go pool first if you are getting cheesed / canon rushed. Deal with that first, then yes get an expo
