Why does the Calgary International Airport have the IATA code YYC? Why do airports in Canada all start with Y? What's up with the second Y?

Other airports use logical names like:

ATL - Atlanta
PHX - Phoenix
HKG - Hong Kong
STL - Salt Lake City
MEX - Mexico City
IST- Istanbul
DFW - Dallas-Fort-Worth

etc.
