So Mr. Harper does not want Canadians to go to certain “unfriendly” countries that are either partly occupied by ISIS, supporting ISIS, or training ISIS fighters. Does that mean a Canadian who wants to spend a vacation in Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or Lebanon is not free to travel to those nations?

Is Harper aware that some people in Canada support ISIS and some have even left Canada to fight for ISIS? Does that put us among the “unfriendly countries” group? If it does, does that mean no tourists should come here?
