@LJS9502_basic: Lol, that would make more sense. What with all the entry refusals and deportations, foreign tourism in general is going to be screwed for a bit.

I only ever read The Fellowship of the Ring, and I've never seen or read any Game of Thrones, so Lord of the Rings by default, because I'm stuffy like that.Sorry, not much use to the thread there.

@uninspiredcup: Am I reading that right? Is this Americans holidaying in Canada from the US?
