I've flown and driven into Canada, both before and after 9/11. I had to show my drivers license and birth certificate at the airport, and usually only have to show my drivers license when driving.In January this year when I drove, Canada only required my drivers license to get in. I did get pulled over and searched throughly each way which was new. I showed my passport getting back into the US which they always prefer over a drivers license. If you have a passport you are better off using that, if you don't bring a drivers license and a birth certificate. You'll need both. You won't always be asked for both, but it's better to be prepared.
If you are driving, you'll also want to have an international insurance card with you just in case you have an accident. Your insurance agent can mail you one if you call them.
