Answer
I'm Canadian, and yes, it's adviseable to not only have your passport, but birth certificate and anyone else who is traveling with you (including children) should as well. We have to do the same thing going across to the States and it doesn't really bother us at all.
Answer
Legally you can cross into Canada from the US with just proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate or naturalization papers. A passport will be required for all US citizens after Dec. 31, 2007. You should also have proof of US citizenship for all children, and written permission if they are not accompanied by both parents. A driver's license and social security card or other picture ID is NOT proof of citizenship. By all means, if you have a passport, take it.
