I've crossed the border many times, never with more than a driver's license as identification, never with any problems.

* Brought up near Detroit, I traveled to Windsor frequently. It is very easy to slip through customs with nothing more than a cursory question and look, especially with an auto with Michigan plates. However, you take a chance to get the full treatment. The odds, I believe are in your favor, so many illegal aliens would try to enter. Customs agents at the Detroit side could get tricky and ask what is your citizenship or what city were you born in, or even what is the country of your birth. Each of these questions may or may not receive the same answer. I think it tripped up illegals trying to breeze through the border, because they memorized USA, and the birth question confused them. BTW, the dollar has always been worth more in Canada historically, and frequenting the taverns was a cheap way to have a good time. It was great to load up the car with your buddies and taste some decent lager and ale! When crossing back to the USA, customs would ask, "Anything to declare?" There was always some smart ass in the back who'd answer, "I declare, thats the darkest tunnel I've ever been in!" Which would immediatelly lead to a two hour inspection, i.e. "tear down" of the car and persons inside!!! LWS hou2d!lws *

>BTW, the dollar has always been worth more in Canada historically,
Does this mean that one American dollar could always buy more in
Canada than in the States, or that one American dollar was always
worth more than one Canadian dollar?
