Could be he works for DFAIT, or is the son of a diplomat. Plus you must admit, DR1 is a pretty good source for this info.

It's most likely that this individual will travel with his birth certificate and driver's license. I'd forgot all about that option.
This is no longer an option for US travelers, it may or may not be an option for Canadian travelers?
I believe it is still OK as long as you are not coming through the US.
