Donald Trump Is Elected President in Stunning Repudiation of the Establishment, via @nytimes–mind boggling https://t.co/ALOiAhTLEi

Donald J. Trump shocked the world Tuesday, winning election as the 45th president of the United States.
The Republican nominee’s victory came after projections showed him winning the states of Florida and North Carolina, as well as Wisconsin, which a Republican nominee had not won in decades.
Trump, once again, defied all the predictions.
His condemnations of the political establishment and his insistence that he alone can restore American greatness resonated with voters far from the media epicenters of the east and west coast. They came out in huge numbers to lift him to victory in the key battleground states.
……
Polling organizations will face hard questions as to how they misread Trump’s backing so badly, even though aides to the candidate had long insisted that there were “shy” supporters who were not admitting their allegiances.

Trump certainly shocked the NYT.
However, some far-sighted folks elsewhere in NYC did prepare for this eventuality. They published the following guide for those who promised to leave the country if Trump were elected.

This was published on 2 March 2016, so there have been 8 months for the preppers to get ready. I suspect they are not. So, remember to pack lightly but warmly, and do not forget to take your papers to be LEGAL immigrants to Canada. Canada has laws about such and they enforce them.
Same goes for Canada’s banking laws. No $250,000 speaker fees there.
#1–Lot tougher to immigrate to Canada than the U.S. They don’t believe in open borders, there is an expensive application fee, you have to show you are a skilled worker and won’t become an economic burden on the country, must already have a legal residence acquired, and speak one or both of the national language, English or French, fluently.
