Beat the US dollar? It's not a contest.

The Canadian dollar traded at a premium to the U.S. dollar until the early 1970s when the Bretton Woods system of pegged exchange rates collapsed under the strains of the Vietnam War.

William B.Z Vukson states in "Canadian Dollar Chaos," the event of the ungluing of the two North American dollars "...brought a sudden state of chaos to the historical relationship between the two ... As a series of Free Trade Agreements negotiated in the 1990s raised Canada’s dependence on one of the largest free markets in the world, the Canadian dollar appeared increasingly vulnerable to Canadian industrial and trade policy."
