A nation divided.
Donald Trump is currently the overwhelming favourite to be elected the 45th President of the United States of America. You can presently get odds of 8-1 on Hillary Clinton somehow usurping her Republican counterpart – and those odd are lengthening by the minute.
Trump has won Florida and Ohio, and that makes his overall victory extremely likely. Fox News are calling Wisconsin in his favour too, and that would surely be game over. The polls don’t lie; Trump’s expected mandate is there for all to see and he has huge support around the country.
But there are many Americans who are currently shitting themselves at the prospect of President Trump. He is a polarising figure for good reason. It is therefore perhaps not a coincidence that the Canadian immigration website is crashing from a sudden spike in concentrated traffic.
We can’t say for certain that this is due to panicking Yanks looking for a way out of Trump’s America, but if not it’s one hell of a coincidence…
