Important stuff
US Dollars - many border areas take USD and will give you change in Canadian currency - you will lose some in these on-the-spot exchanges. If you don't mind going home with Canadian money, then use your ATM card to draw cash at any one of the many banks in Canada. This exchange rate is generally pretty good. You just have to guess how much you will spend.
Medication (general and for aches and pain)
cell phone (and power cords)
Any canadian currency lying around
