And Americans driving into Canada are suppose to have an insurance card to
document car insurance in Canada.  Call your insurance company a month in
advance and get it.  Though many will tell you it was not needed (and indeed
most US citizens crossing into Canada do not have it) it does prove you have
paid attention to the laws of Canada and that can help.
