Following the ca-ray-zay hold up at the Canadian border Tuesday, New Kids On The Block and their Package Tour finally made it to Ottawa — gear and all.
But given the ridiculousness of the situation — that forced them to cancel their show — the boys just had to make light of things at their rescheduled concert last night. Put very simply, they explained:
Oh, Canada — must you wage war on our bands??!
Well, not quite war, but a New Kids on the Block concert was just CANCELED because the non-mounted police at the border refused to let the band import the equipment they needed to put on a kick-ass show!!!
Now everyone who dropped a few dozen loonies to see the band perform in Ottawa tonight is up Moose Creek without a paddle!!!
Grrrr!! We LOVE our neighbors to the north, but they left our beloved boys Hangin' Tough!!!
A rep for the the New Kids' Package Tour — yup, that's really what it's called — says the Canadian Border Patrol held up trucks carrying equipment and vital production crew, but didn't specify why.
Thankfully, the show is rescheduled for tomorrow night!

OMG, we can't believe this tour is actually happening! And we're getting a sneak peek!
It would be enough for us if New Kids On The Block was just doing Step By Step! But they give us a two-fer by jumping right into The Right Stuff!
Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to get the Block party started with a little taste of this summer's The Package Tour!
And as if two songs by NKOTB weren't enough, they brought along their touring buddies 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men!
Find out how this band of boy bands got together, and get your face rocked off by live performances of The Hardest Thing and Motownphilly …AFTER THE JUMP!!!
Well, this isn’t a good sign for New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees, and Boyz II Men.
Groupon is offering a discount on their Package Tour tickets already! Selling at 25% below the original asking price, fans in New York can see the boys live at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center for just over $50!
But this of course begs the following, slightly tragic question: is no one buying tickets to see the trifecta perform?! And even more importantly, does this mean the reunion tour could be the last go-around for NKOTB?!
Ch-ch-check it out the Groupon ad (below)!
We shudder at the thought!! We were just getting used to reunion tour after reunion tour! Perhaps their audience has finally outgrown them…

Donnie Wahlberg graced Ryan Seacrest's radio show with his presence this morning and you won't believe his wonderful revelation!!
The trans-generational sex symbol moistened panties across the nation when he announced the star-studded lineup for this summer's Mixtape Festival in Hershey, PA!
Donnie's New Kids on the Block will headline the festival and they're joined by a slew of other fiercely fantabulous acts including Hanson, Jonas Brothers, Boyz II Men, Gavin DeGraw, OneRepublic, Train, and… wait for it… wait for it… TLC!
A newly single Selena Gomez teased the world with her lyrics: When you’re ready come and get it, na na na na, na na na na!
And wouldn’t you know, someone was ready!
That someone just so happened to be Ed Sheeran, the Lego House singer who is currently on tour with Selena’s bestie, Taylor Swift!!
We initially thought Ed had paid Selena a house visit with his guitar to collaborate on some sweet new tunes, but now it seems like the visit could have been to win her heart with his wonderful wooing!!!
We couldn’t be more thrilled to hear this latest development!!!!
