If you were born in the US you are a US citizen, and you MUST have a US passport in order to leave the US legally. And you must have a US passport to return as well.

12 USC 1185. Travel control of citizens and aliens
…
(b) Citizens
Except as otherwise provided by the President and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may authorize and prescribe, it shall be unlawful for any citizen of the United States to depart from or enter, or attempt to depart from or enter, the United States unless he bears a valid United States passport.

With your Canadian passport or US Driver License for identification and your US birth certificate you apply for a US passport.

If you need to you can get one on an expedited basis as quickly as a week or two, and some (expensive) services can get it for you in a day or two.

Your US passport - don't leave home without it!

Bring both passports. Use the Canadian passport to enter Canada, and the US one to enter the US. This is what you're supposed to do. Do not use the Canadian one to enter the US, it will cause you all sorts of complication with immigration.

I think that if anyone leaves the U.S. and then comes back, they need a U.S. passport to re-enter even from Canada (or Mexico or anywhere else) under new laws. Good luck.

"place of birth" on a passport is not considered proof of citizenship.

Also, it is frowned upon to travel with passports from 2 different countries.
