The Lord of the Rings on Stage

So far, I can't say that there's a pervailing negativity that is directed at Americans here. More like your government, your political orientation, that kind of fluff.

Of course, maybe it may look like there's a resentment against Americans from your side of the Great Fence-to-be of Canada.

You appear to have misunderstood my question. Why would Americans go to Canada less often: antipathy for the overwhelmingly negative rhetoric coming from north of the border, or the border hassles that have arrived since 9-11, or the pain in the butt of flying anywhere post 9-11?

As for fences, not that effective a deterrent. If you want to defend a border, you need a multi zone surveillance package, dispersed and mobile quick reaction forces, and the willingness to shoot to kill. Otherwise, the border won't stand, and only deters the lawful traveller.
