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.

    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...
