Google says the search “How can I move to Canada?” spiked 350 percent as results came in late Tuesday showing wins for GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

“Searches for ‘how can I move to Canada’ on Google have spiked +350% in the past hours,” tweeted Simon Rogers, the search engine’s data editor, Tuesday evening alongside the hashtag #SuperTuesday.

"Searches for 'Move to Canada' are higher than at any time in Google history," the company later added.

I never seriously thought about leaving the US until the I saw the rise of the Tea Party and the backlash to Obama's election and then realized that things were likely never going to improve from the Bush era.

We'd probably just screw up their health care system.

Americans. Two industries have left the area and unemployment is high. You can get a house for $20,000 though.

I think young people would be wise to leave this country. We can try to blame it on the politicians but many people in the US have lost their minds. They are supporting the racist politicians. The Southern Strategy is now loud and proud and it's a disgrace. The only salve these politicians (other than Bernie) have for an ailing economy and unemployment is another war or three and subjugation of women.

It is costly and the way out is to renounce.

It also is not easy to become an immigrant in Canada

U.S. to Canada.

Good luck with that.

Canada must ostensibly recover (if that's actually the idea) from two terms of Harper, much like the U.S. from Bush.

As with most countries, you must bring in a large amount of money, create x of jobs, or have relatives there.

That Trump Wall?

That's not to keep Mexicans out.

It's to keep American's from fleeing

He'll do Canada too

Hadrian's Wall .. Berlin Wall .. Iron Curtain .. Trump Wall 1,2,3,4..
