You dont need them. I went into Canada with about 4 dollars US in my pocket recently. Just go to a cash machine up there and withdraw Canadian moolah from you US bank account. Apart from the ATM fee, the conversion cost is actually cheaper than going to a money change place, and the banks handle everything electronically without you having to worry about squat.
I did the same thing in Italy last year. I even used my US credit card to pay a italian toll fee getting off a road. I was amazed it worked with zero problems. Travelers checks are dead and gone for the most part. Just make sure to call your bank and tell them where you intend to be so they dont freeze your account when you try to make a withdrawl.
