Toronto, ON | Yes, you'll need your passport.
With only your GC, how do they know you are Canadian? So yeah, do carry your Canadian passport and your GC for entry back into the US.

If you have a Canadian birth certificate then you're a Canadian citizen regardless of where you live or whether you have a green card. You'll also need government-issue photo ID (yours or ours.) If you have any doubts about this then call the Canadian consulate in DFW or embassy in DC. |

I took the ferry once. Interesting ride. My wife didn't like it all. But, I must admit, the border crossing was the easiest I've ever been through. Just one female guard, and a wave as we drove on by.

said by bhspnkr  :how about a green card and a birth certificate? that should be sufficent.
in any case, to make sure, call the Canadian Consulate in Dallas at (214) 922-9806 or in Houston at (713) 821-1440
you WILL need the green card for Re-Entry to the United States, so take it with you anyways.

They don't care how long you will be in toronto. You go throught customs at the port just like any border crossing.

Highway 400 has one, and Autoroutes 20 + 40 in Quebec have them They do. 400 has 3 actually... one just by king Sideroad north of Toronto, one just south of Essa road in barrie, and the other is sort of a half service station because you have to exit the highway to get it to it going north but it's at Hwy 88 near that outlet mall.
The 401 also has a bunch east of toronto (perhaps west too i'm not sure). I've noticed they fall approximately every 2 hours starting around belleville. |

Yabbut you pay through the nose for the convenience of buying gas and pay with gas (among other symptoms) for eating the food at those service centres. It's usually much cheaper to pull off at an exit at a medium-sized city like Woodstock (or Belleville or Kingston, etc.) Takes an extra five minutes and well worth it. |

I remember as a kid stopping at these places and eating lousy, overpriced "cafeteria" food. 
If I'm driving the 401 I want to get where I'm going as soon as possible. If I wanted to take my time I'd drive Highway 2.
