tell me if anyone knows....can I drive across the border into Canada and open a savings account?....do I need to declare cash at the border?

If the total value is more than 10K Canadian (About 9700USD) then you do need to declare it. In theory, the declaration is no big deal.

I’m not sure as to whether or not you would be able to open an account without Canadian residence. I just know that I am glad to be watching the trainwreck from the northern side of the border.

Correction—10K Canadian is presently about 10300USD—still haven’t got my head wrapped around the loonie being above par.
