We got some Canadian currency at a bank just after crossing - the best rate. We used Canadian while in Canada and the Yukon...yes, common courtesy.
When Canadians visit the U.S. places won't accept Canadian currency. In fact, at the end of our trip we had a minimal amount left over. We tried to exchange it in Montana on our way to Glacier Nat'l Park. No one would accept it. We dropped the excess in the national park's donation bucket.
We also had a credit card that didn't have a foreign currency charge and we used that as much as possible while in Canada. For the provincial parks, we used Canadian.
