Americans can no longer get into Canada without passports, even driving accross the border. Not even a birth certificate will do anymore. Officially this went into effect last spring sometime, but they had a delayed grace period, which I'm guessing is up, or at least I wouldn't want to risk it. (And, indeed, i remember when I could get into Canada over the Detroit River just saying "American, going for lunch.")
