Yes of course you will need a passport, from now on anyone entering any other country but their own, will need a passport.

Both the U.S. and Canadian governments urge frequent travelers to join the NEXUS trusted traveler program. NEXUS members receive a special travel card that allows expedited border crossings for both private and commercial travelers through both U.S. and Canadian border controls very quickly. The CBP has detailed information about the NEXUS program . So the correct answer is yes, you can use it, that is the purpose of the card in the first place, it takes the place of a passport for canada and usa crossings. The only exception is if you left canada, went to another country and Then tried to enter the US, you would then need a passport. This if from the passport and visa website dont listen to those who say otherwise

Yes.
Over land, you will need a birth certificate and driver's license.
You might get away with a borth certificate and provincial health card over land, but that assumes U.S. Homeland Security has a clue what socialized medicine is. They will likely not recognize it as government issued photo identification.
Also, in 2008, you'll need a passport whether coming by land, sea, or air.
The Canadian government is taking about 6 months to process passport applications.

DRSHORTY is incorrect. You do NOT need a visa to go to the United States. But, you do need a passport to FLY to the United States. You will not be allowed on an international flight without a passport. Seewebpage below to confirm this.

If you are FLYING in or out of the United States, you must have a passport.
Until the end of this year, you may drive across the border without a passport.

You will need a passport. Go to any post office and get an application. I think because your under 19, you'll need your parents to sign it. Check the forms though, cause it might be under 16 and not 19.

Here's how it works when you travel internationally:
A visa is permission for you to enter another country. So to get into the USA you need a visa. I'm not sure about the visa requirements these days for Canadian citizens. A passport will be useful at customs because it provides proof of Canadian citizenship.
A passport is also permission for you to return to your native country. So you'll need a passport to get back into Canada. I believe Canada is requiring passports at all of its borders now.
So, yes, I believe you'll need one. Have a great trip!
