OK, so maybe I was wrong, and at the current moment, most Americans can't (though it's like 42% with a passport), but between the pre-2007 no-passport requirement, and the now increasing share that does have one, I'd think the time span when Canada is off-limits to the US tourist is only a relatively short one in the long run.

Yeah, I used to cross the border into Canada regularly until I was 21, because Canada's drinking age is 19, and I did it without a passport. Since the passport requirement, I think I've only crossed once or twice by land (but many times by air).
