hopefully they ID you. if they do, you ain't getting in with that on you're record. and rightfully so. if you lack respect in the law to flee+elude your police, we SURE AS HELL don't want YOU here.
your friends are invited, but YOU can't come. stay the **** out of my home!!!

Theoreticallly, it "can" happen that you will make it through. Even with a passport, Canada Border Services WILL usually run a check on your identity in their system. If you have a prior conviction, you can be refused entry.
Best bet...apply for a pardon to enter Canada, if you eligible. There are fees involved. These are a small fee compared to a lost vacation in Canada to get all that way and be turned away though. The links I gave will help you see if you can come here and the processes involved.

In order for a US felon to be granted entry to Canada you have to have a certificate of rehabilitation issued by the Canadian embassy. There are several lawyers that specialize in this. The main consideration is the severity of the crime and how long ago it was. Also, they consider the crime based on Canadian law, so the misdemeanor DUI you got here might be a felony in Canada.

I've heard of people having trouble flying through Canada. I think one was a DWI or DUI.

If you have a valid passport ... I would assume you can leave the country ... but I don't know the law on that.
Here is the information in regards to going to Canada:
