No, im 99% sure that a law was passed requiring passports now for canada and mexico. i could definitely be wrong but im pretty sure ull need a passport, before that law all u needed was ID and a birthcertificate.

A quote from http://gocanada.about.com:
January, 2009-
Bottom line: As of June 1, 2009, everyone from every country that comes to Canada by air, land and sea needs a passport or equivalent travel document.
Before June 1, 2009, U.S. citizens do not necessarily need a passport entering Canada by land or sea, but need valid ID that proves identity and citizenship.
Currently, everyone arriving in Canada by air needs a passport or equivalent travel document, such as a NEXUS Card.

I go to Canada all the time, last time was last weekend. ID and Birth Certificate is fine. I dont even ever show my birth certificate, just my drivers license.

irrelevant. you follow the law of the land you are in, not the one you are from. that would be like saying you shouldn't be guilty of statutory rape in the US because sex with a 14 year old is legal in the country you are from.

most of canada is 19. quebec, manitoba, and alberta is 18.
(the US is technically state by state as well, but all 50 states are 21)

If you want to go to a decent club I suggest Chez Parée:
http://en.chezparee.ca/
It's pretty upscale. You can even bring the GF's, there are always couples there when I go.
