I always travel with my passport to the US and Mexico, even when crossing by land. I would not even dream of not taking it when going to another country, even if they said it was OK not too (i.e. some Caribbean countries). It is by far the best piece of ID (although teh new AB drivers license is very secure and good looking ) and gives you extra comfort knowing that it identifies you as a Canadian.

I also agree that it should be required of all other foreign nationals coming to Canada too.
