We didn’t do passports between Canada and the USA till very recently.
That’s right. That started soon after 9/11. I visited Canada many times with nothing more than my birth certificate and drivers license.

I think the point is that Canadian passports have existed for, well since passports. The fact that all you needed was a drivers license to get into Canada until recently is not the point being made here.
I don’t think both parents are the issue. Someone in the same situation said his parents had to fill out papers at the embassy to formally establish his citizenship and that makes him a naturalized citizen.
Don’t beat me up, just sayin’
You are thinking about visas, not passports. You don't do passports "between" countries - a passport is issued by the country of which you are a citizen to allow you to travel to other countries and get back into your own country. A visa allows you to enter a specific country for a specified purpose and/or time period.
The argument people are tying to make is that Cruz was lying about not knowing he was a Canadian citizen until recently, because you have to apply for a passport and prove you are a citizen of that country before one is issued. The birthers are desperately trying to make this an issue, but have nothing to support their innuendo.
We never required a passport to cross the border, you mean
