The search for 'Move To Canada'?

[vostok]

A tweet by Google's data editor, Simon Rogers, alerted the world to renewed interest. He noted a spike of 350% in searches over a four-hour period for "how can I move to Canada" coming from the United States.

The peak in relative interest was at 05:32 GMT, around 20 minutes after Mr Rogers' tweet. Analysis of Google's own data shows that interest had apparently reached a plateau shortly before his tweet, which sparked considerable further interest...

Toronto City councillor Norm Kelly's helpful direction to the Canadian Immigration Service's website has garnered over 32,000 retweets, suggesting that there was also significant interest on social media...

The link to the "Apply to immigrate to Canada" page has been tweeted more than 29,000 times in the past 24 hours, a staggering growth in interest.

Some kind Canadians have offered to take in those fleeing the US.

Man I'd love to move to Canada but it's too damn cold.

I searched Finland and Sweden though.

 

[GroErr]

We only take refuges here sorry All jokes aside, I'd think the increased traffic is due to two main factors:
1) The possibility that the ego maniac, formerly known as Trump, could some day become President
2) Legalization of weed on the horizon

Hard to tell which one is a bigger factor though, I'm going with Trump, one scary dude...

So Texas cold and Colorado cold are very different. I'm not sure about Canada. But if it's dry like Colorado it's very manageable.

Colorado may seem cold when you see the temps but it's so freaking dry it's not even cold. Even when it's 32F it feels awesome outside. In Texas 40's are fucking cold AF.

It was really confusing to me at first. Still is.. It can be 70F but there is snow everywhere..

I grew up in upstate NY so I know what cold and snow is. It gets cold as shit up there. Canada's worse. And they have snow into May. F that.

He is an asshole forsure. But I'd rather someone be upfront. Then hiding their wicked agendas like Hillary.

If I was the president I'd be a complete jerk too, but a honest jerk..

Depends on where in Canada. East coast sucks, cool summers, ridiculous amount of snow in winter. Ontario holds ~1/3 our total population and we have the warmest spots like Niagara Falls and Windsor, winters there are no different than say New Jersey/New York. Toronto's a little cooler but not a lot of snow unless you go an hour or two north. As you go West, places like Winnipeg have been compared to living on fucking Mars, everywhere you go you'll see poles with power sockets, that's to plug your car in so when you go grab a coffee/breakfast for 1/2 an hour, you can start your car again when you get back. I've been there in February and it was -45C, C & F meet at -40, it's fucking brutal. West coast is warmer but very wet, I've hit a few times where it was dry but places like Vancouver can rain for weeks at a time, great when you go North of there if you're a skier or boarder though, that's the only reason I go out there to Whistler. And yeah, humid vs. dry cold feels completely different, in Ontario it's typically humid, -20C and 70% humidity feels more like -30C, either one sucks

I think a lot of it is healthcare. We'd just like to be able to afford a fucking visit to the doctor...

Yeah we get it "for free" and it's a pretty good system (nothing's perfect), but believe me we pay for it, we get taxed a lot heavier up here, the grass isn't always greener, maybe just a different shade of green... coming out of your pocket and into the government's #$%!
