As it became clear on March 1 that Donald Trump had won 7 of a possible 11 contests, Google's data editor, Simon Rogers tweeted [twitter.com]

Searches for "how can I move to Canada" on Google have spiked +350% in the past four hours

Mashable reports [mashable.com]

By midnight, the query rose [to] 1150% before settling back down somewhere around the 500% mark on the day. [...] By Wednesday morning, Google said searches for "Move to Canada" were "higher than at any time in Google history".

Better yet, the majority of the searches seemed to be coming from Massachusetts, where Trump won in a landslide with 49% of the vote.

Are any Soylentils considering relocating if the electoral process "goes off the rails"?
Do any non-USAian Soylentils have contingency plans that will be enacted due to an electoral outcome? (I know that Spain, for example, is having a hell of a time trying to form a majority.)
