Instead, thousands more Canadians have/will move to the United States, just like they always have. Oh, is that why the Immigration Canada website keeps crashing due to the influx of American's consulting it?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the site is crashing because it is funded/mis-managed by the Canadian Government. Canadians going to the "states" don't need a web site...just their cars/trucks and a border crossing.

Americans moving to Canada do need a website though, and the huge increase in traffic from the US IS what's crashing the site. Don't worry though, the increased tax revenue on property sales will help expand the site capability as required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada has been openly soliciting American emigration (e.g. a dying Cape Bretton), but Canadians have streamed across the U.S. border in far greater numbers long before web sites ever existed, and they will continue to do so with a President Trump. The illegals trying to escape to Canada don't count as "Americans". Edited November 21, 2016 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was a DJ on a Cape Breton radio station who started a tongue in cheek website to extol the virtues of Cape Breton to Americans fleeing if Trump were to win. Apparently Americans didn't think it was just humor and that's when the Immigration site began getting choked. We have beach front on Bras D'or lake if you're interested.

Cape Bretton's dying population is its concern, not mine. All I know is that more Canadians have emigrated to the United States than Americans going to Canada, and the USA has ten times the population. Must be the weather, huh ? Trump can't change that.

Won't matter....Canadians, just like Mexicans and many other nationals, will still want to go to the United States for a variety of reasons. If Trump ramps up the U.S. economy, even more will come...legally and illegally. Reprise: Canadians overstay their U.S. visas more than any other nationals (U.S. Homeland Security).

Trump is more likely to ramp up inflation according to the recent bond market reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that "America" impacts Canada's economy far more than Canada impacts America's economy ? Just my working theory for now....
