For as long as I can remeber, the Canadian dollar has always been worth less than a US dollar and for the life of me, I could never understand why that would be a good thing.

Can't say I fully understand it yet but if someone could dumb it down a bit for that would be awesome.
I'm probably wrong but I think it has to do with other countries less likely to buy/trade for our goods such as wood, oil and so on because it will cost them more than going with a country with a low dollar. Some please correct me if that is not the case...
