Yes, you need a Canadian passport. What most people still do not realize is that the commercial airlines will not allow you to board the aircraft without a passport. So it's not just the governments.
Even if you travel by land, the US requires you to show a valid passport.

.............................

Hold on, now. The question was about a Canadian Citizen entering Canada. It was not about boarding an aircraft.

When you leave the USA and cross the border into Canada, you don't have to show anything to US Customs. You only need a passport to enter the USA.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the right of a Canadian citizen to enter Canada. A Citizenship Card is proof of Canadian Citizenship. Under the Charter, that is sufficient to be admitted to Canada.

No, but it is the document that would make it easiest. Being born to an American citizen is moot however. For any Canadian what is needed is proof of Canadian citizenship AND government issued photo ID, generally a drivers license. This has been the requirements since 31 January 2008.

The American parent is only relevant if the person is attempting to become an American citizen.
