Travel from US to Canada

My Canadian cousin was telling me that I might need a visa now to travel into Canada, as some new security measure. I haven't heard anything about this tho'. Does anyone know anything about this? I have my US birth certificate and passport, which I'd assume would be enough, but I'd hate to drive 8 hrs. and get turned away at the border.
 
The Canadian government has requested that all Americans contemplating a visit to their country just mail their money to the government treasury and stay home.
 
Visitor Requirements: U.S. Residents
Although a passport is the ideal identification, you do not require a passport or visa to enter Canada. Just make sure you carry identification to establish your citizenship such as a Birth Certificate and least one ID card with photo. If you are a naturalized U.S. citizen, you should carry this certificate. Permanent residents of the U.S.A. must bring their "Green Card".

Although it is rare, immigration officials may prevent the entry of visitors:

who appear to pose a health risk.
those they doubt will be able to support themselves and their dependents in Canada.
whose willingness and means to return to the U.S. is in doubt.
As well, those admissible to Canada must not have a criminal record. This includes any convictions for driving while intoxicated.

If you have questions about your admissibility to enter Canada, contact your nearest Canadian Embassy or Consulate for consultation.

It is the other way around. It is nice to have your passport just incase your people don't let you back into your own country, because they fear that you might have a bomb strap to your chest.

Ps. The rudest US imigration people that I have ever dealt with is the US/Can border, while one of the nices I have dealt with is the US/Mexi border.

While I haven't had a chance to cross the U.S./Mexican border, I will agree with you that the U.S./Canada border personnel are quite rude.

Exactly. A buddy and I went up to Windsor two weeks ago; we had no trouble getting into Canada with driver's licenses. However, when we went to go back to Detroit, the border guard gave my friend a hard time because he only had a license (fortunately, I had my passport, so no problems for me). The border guy gave my friend a five minute lecture about how easy it is to get fake ID's (my friend is Irish-Catholic, by the way), and then finally let us go.
