Aside from being a different game, the CFL players go home after the Grey Cup in November, so they couldn't really wait around to meet the winners of the Super Bowl. Back in the 1950s and early sixties CFL salaries were higher than NFL salaries (college football still being #1 in the US back in the day), but it's been a long time since then.

Unfortunately, I got beat out by the guy above me, so I removed my link (same one!), but here's a point I'd like to make:
Hey, if MLB's two big leagues can deal with the designated hitter and other minor rule differences, the CFL and NFL can do the same! (consider this: US college football has differences between it and the pros, too!). Why not pit the Superbowl and Grey Cup champs against each other, in one or the other country, changing to the other every other year? Personally, I happen to like some of the CFL rules over the NFL!

Funny how the occasional games the CFL played with the NFL ended after the CFL won one...this being said, with the current state of the respective leagues, the odds of that happening now are pretty remote.

I can't imagine that ever happening. The fields are different sizes and they don't have the same rules.
P.S. To kingstonsean - I know that I'm being picky, but the 1961 Buffalo Bills were in the AFL, not the NFL. The two leagues didn't merge into the current NFL until 1970.
