I have travelled in New Brunswick several times on vacations to Maine
in the mid and late 1990's. Prior, I had travelled to Quebec a few time
also. Always wanted to get to Nova Scotia. I have also travelled to
Bermuda. Never had a passport, never needed one. My wife had one when
we were married, but I presume it's long expired. 

I certainly understand Canada's concerns, because I agree that the
majority of US citizens are like me in that regard. I also believe that
this hasn't been adequately publicized.

In order to avoid problems should I decide to stray into Canada again
in the future, I guess I'll have to look into getting us passports.
