Canonical is used whenever the same content can be accessed from different URLs. Like for instance this thread:
Can be viewed via:
http://letsforum.com/Thread-Rel-canonical
and
http://letsforum.com/showthread.php?tid=2581
But we prefer the first URL so we add:
to the source code telling the search engine that this URL is the main one.
This also takes care of duplicate content cause if you have multiple URLs pointing to the same content this will result in duplicate content penalty.
