Why $80 for license? American or canadian?

80$ Canadian for their new outdoors card plus license fee

Which border crossing? I'm coming through Detroit in two weeks, and we've never had those issues the last four years. By the way, do Americans need a a passport? I thought just a birth certificate worked for travelers by vehicle. I know it is different if coming by air.
