I know what is being asked. GE card is good for entering Canada. You however can not use the Nexus lane entering Canada with a GE card. Do you really think they would take a drivers license, but not a GE card?
WHTI is the name used for the agreements between several countries. It allows for IDS other than passports to be used at non-airport border crossings.

Exactly so.
They accept passports, NEXUS cards, SENTRI cards, FAST (Free and Secure Trade) cards and enhanced driver's licences.

Guide for Transporters makes no mention of GE as valid document for entry into Canada. You can enter Canada by land using various documents such as passport/US passport card/EDL/green card/NEXUS (to name a few). GE is not one of them.

In other words, even after the US implemented WHTI, I could still enter Canada with just my regular US state driver's license and US state birth certificate -- even if I've just flown into Canada. And I still do when I drive north. That kind of repeated outcome is evidence enough to enough people that Canada doesn't have all the same requirements as the US has set up with the US's WHTI.
Also, I've had more trouble having my US passport card and GE card accepted by Canada for entry at Canadian airports than I've had with my regular US state driving license and accompanying raised-seal US state birth certificate being accepted by Canada for entry at Canadian airports. That said, this is how it went still as of at the start of this month.
