Why the different passport issues travelling US to Canada?

Probably more down to the terms and conditions of the tickets rather than any security/passport issues.

In the UK, if I fly British Airways (domestic or international), I may show passport/ID at the desk (if I haven't checked in via the web and already have boarding pass etc), I've never been asked after that.

If I travel on any of the UK budget airlines, I have to show passport/ID at the desk (even when checked in via the web, which they've charged me extra for), then at the gate, no boarding without the ID,

Difference? the budget airline ticket is non-transferable (so if I can't travel I can't sell it to someone else), so they check to make sure you aren't making any money back without involving them.
