No, you have to have a passport to go to Canada if you are traveling by 
air or sea.  If driving, you can get a NEXUS card (looks like a driver's 
license; meant for those who go over the border often) or use a 
passport, but you are required to have one or the other.  You cannot go 
into Canada without one.

"Entry into Canada: Canadian law requires that all persons entering 
Canada carry both proof of citizenship and proof of identity. A valid 
U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements 
for U.S. citizens."

My previous employer, who is based out of Quebec City, Quebec, paid for 
a passport for me and I had to study up on US and Canadian laws 
regarding border crossings.  Unfortunately, I never did get to go to 
Quebec during my employment there but I am considering visiting Nick 
Andre up in Toronto in the early fall later this year.  Toronto's about 
a 13 hour drive from here which isn't bad.

Later,
Sean
