As Donald Trump emerged as the winner of the American presidential campaign Tuesday night, 100,000 people in the Unites States visited Canada's immigration website, contributing to a crash.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada confirmed that visitors from the U.S. made up half the traffic on its website when it "started to experience difficulties" around 11 p.m. on Nov. 8. The usual proportion of visitors from the U.S. ranges from 8.8 to 11.6 per cent.

In total, 200,000 users were on the website when it crashed, compared to 17,000 users at the same time the previous week.

    so sick of chickenshit, chicken littles who cry the sky is falling when their sparkle pony poops...
    to all the celebutards who 'promised' to leave the country if t-rump won, PLEASE do so, i will not miss your misguided, authoritarian identity politics one whit... the wailing, gnashing of teeth and -oh, the hypocrisy is so thick it can be shoveled- riots protesting t-rump (uh, wait a minute, isn't that EXACTLY what libtards claimed the deplorables would do, and it was a krime against humanity; but when libtards do that EXACT THING, it is magically transformed into an earnest and necessary defense of democracy ? and WHY is it t-rump is responsible for the sore loserism of hill's deluded supporters ? WHERE are HER calls for the special snowflakes to shutup and take their medicine ?) are examples of the YUUUUGE blindspot and inability to accept reality that the libtard cohort has so consistently demonstrated that has made me abandon them as 'my peeps', i now excoriate them for their dishonesty and massive hypocrisy...

      soooo, no refutation to the actual factuals, just 'go fuck yourself' ? ? ?
      what the fuck is wrong with you ? ? ?
      YOU ARE PROVING THE T-RUMPSTERS point: libtards are only happy when in control and enforcing their authoritarian (and wrongheaded, and ANTI-FREEDOM) identity politics horseshit on others...
      for the record, Don't give a shit about t-rump, but i MUST be a deplorable, racist bigot 'cause i lashed out at pwogtards (oh, and to the other guttersnipe a couple posts down: i KNOW i can out-spell a chickenshit such as yourself, but i engage in neologisms and 'funny' spelling CAUSE I FUCKING LIKE TO, it amuses, unilke useless, unimaginative, plodding fucktards like yourself...)
      i will do what i often do when i find stupid adversaries whose only retort is 'fuck you' (which i don't mind, but it should be 'fuck you, BECAUSE... A, B, C', a simple fuck you means nothing other than you are a knuckle-dragger incapable of ratiocination: here is my real email address, let's engage in a debate...
      but, you know what, a non cow ? you won't, they almost NEVER do because you are a coward and you DO NOT have the courage of your convictions, as pedestrian and useless as they are: artguerrilla at windstream dot net, have at it, fucktard...

    I'm hoping that if there is a 'mass immigration', that we get good people: yes, leave the 'celebutards' down there where they can play with all the money they've made and cry over Hillary losing.

    Send us your bright, your good, your huddled but great masses. Leave celebrities down there.

    Oh, and you can keep Celine Dion, too. And we apologize for her. Again. Yup. Sorry.

      When the U.S. sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing their problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we are getting.

    Where is the "-1 Opiated Ramblings" moderation when you need it?

    I browse at -1 when I have mod points. It's unsettling.

    Sad that this trash talk is modded so high, but ok.

    Canada is just nice, with a less densely population than the southern border and a lower crime rate than most alternatives in North America.

    Given the coming rise in global temperature (which some believe is true), it is also a wiser choice for the long term than anything closer to the equator.

    And you forgot... they only like democracy if THEIR candidate wins.
