Not yet, but soon. You can still drive across the border without one until sometime next year. But if you fly you need one.

We have crossed the border from Seattle to Vancouver several times and they will normally ask you for only US ID or green card for identification. Sometimes their very polite immigration officials will just challenge you with a question "foreigners or US citizens?". But, that may have changed after 9/11 event and it will be a good idea to carry one or check the Canadian immigration office before you head to the border for a visit.
Be always prepared with travel documents whenever you visit another country - even if it means just crossing borders. You may even need it for an emergency situation.

All you do whilst they ask the citizenship is say, "i'm Canadian, and he or she/he's American". Hand them your passports. i'm undecided what they do with them in the sales area, yet they are going to look at them. counting on what day you bypass, they'd open your trunk and go searching. while you're vacationing with a cooler they are going to in all probability open it to make particular you have no meat or fruit. the completed time your chatting with the customs agent could purely take a minute or 2. they don't do an entire historic past verify on each individual, yet whilst some thing comes up on their laptop then they'd pull you over into secondary, the place you will possibly basically communicate with yet another customs agent somewhat longer. sturdy success! :)

You should have one. Honestly, especially if you have any sort of an accent. They will stop people and ask for your passport. I have a friend that is Chinese-American and left her passport at home. It was a huge issue. She and her family were held for 6 hours. Too bad we don't have agents like that on the Southern border!

No. The State Department temporarily suspended the regulation - read yesterday's newspaper for details.

Not to drive. And there is a moratorium on needing a passport to fly (if one has evidence that they have applied for one).
