Welcome to FT. You may want to put more details in your question.
However, please refer to this : https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/united-states |

Generally not, but there can be exceptions for certain types of emergency/alternate travel documents. How do you plan to travel? Fly on AC? Some (land) border crossings are unstaffed, so the answer to your literal "CAN I" question could be yes, even though the crosssing without required travel documents would be illegal and you would surely be told to go back as soon as you called to do the required self report. In some circumstances, you could be able to travel on a NEXUS card, but you cannot get a NEXUS card if you don't have a passport. |

I believe you still need to scan your passport at Global Entry kiosk?
However, I would highly not recommend traveling without a passport. Nexus rules actually stipulate you’re still obligated to carry a passport on you. In addition, if there’s any reason you need to seek consular assistance, passport will be your proof of citizenship, not nexus. Carrying both also ensures you don’t have to argue with some airline agent or TSA agent that insists the Nexus card is not a valid travel document *rolls eyes* |
As this is a topic beyond Air Canada it's been relocated to the FT Canada destination forum.

Rather than speculating on the unlikely scenarios, it would be more helpful if OP simply provided the details of the travel he proposes and what he has for identification as well as whether he has Nexus. With that information, there will be good & solid advice.

You're required to have your passport with you while crossing by air, so while technically you can skate by if all goes well, if you're flagged for secondary, you'll be at the mercy of the officer whether or not they kick you out of NEXUS.
Of course one shouldn't do this, but in an emergency being able to make the trip might be more important than staying in NEXUS. |

for whatever reason, GE kiosks in Canada actually accept nexus, I had not known this for years until pointed out by an airport staff. |
