Hillary Clinton voters totally freaking out about election night results are, apparently, looking to relocate as soon as possible.
Immigration Canada’s website has had so many requests in the early hour that the site completely crashed, giving its users an error message.
The website of Immigration Canada has crushed.

Progressives and Democrats across America are finding themselves disappointed a second time as Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Bureau simply cannot handle the number of requests for asylum from a Donald Trump Presidency.

The site later rallied and was live again around 4.30am East Coast time. Americans looking to flee Trump will likely be surprised at how difficult relocating to Canada actually is — even with a functioning immigration website.
Canadians have been fighting against accepting greater numbers of political refugees, and the Canadian government has been deeply considering curbing border-jumping.
They may have to just live with the election’s results for now.
