Canadian immigration site crashes during U.S. election night

A sudden spike in interest over Canada's Citizenship and Immigration site has many believing that US citizens aren't happy with the way their presidential election is going at the moment. An error message has been showing up on said site, making it inaccessible to some users.  And while that might be a coincidence, according to a tweet from The Telegraph, people in the U.S. have been searching for the word "emigrate" over the last few hours.

Google Trends shows Americans want to move to Canada following Trump win

This tends to happen during the American election season. When a controversial candidate wins, Americans start to look for ways to move to Canada. Google Trends have tweeted and pointed out that following Super Tuesday and Trump’s win in seven states against other Republican candidates, the search engine has had the highest search for “Move to Canada” queries in the company’s history. The numbers have nearly doubled since George W. Bush was re-elected. The other data Google Trends was able to cull include Trump being the top search query for all seven states among the Republican politicians.

On the Democrat’s side, Hillary Clinton beat out Bernie Sanders to take out the seven states. But in terms of searches, Sanders and Clinton were pretty close except for Vermont where Sanders was more popular.
