NEW YORK, NY - The collective leftist meltdown following Donald Trump’s election victory was not limited to just expressing outrage. Google also experienced in surge in searches for “move to Canada” from Americans seemingly eager to escape north of the border. Other associated searches that trended include “How to move to Canada with no money.”
Now Toronto reports that as the dust settles on the 2024 race, with Donald Trump emerging victorious over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, many leftists are apparently considering a drastic move – to Canada.
According to data from Google Trends, searches for “move to Canada” skyrocketed in the U.S. around 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, just as Trump was declared the nation’s next president. The top five states leading the charge were Vermont, Maine, Oregon, New Hampshire, and Minnesota – all of which were projected to be won by Harris.
The search trend is reminiscent of the 2016 election, when Trump’s surprise victory over Hillary Clinton prompted a similar flood of interest in emigrating to America’s northern neighbor. This time around, related queries that saw a massive uptick in search volume included “Cost to move to Canada from U.S.,” “How to move to Canada with no money,” “How to get a visa for Canada,” “How to be a citizen of Canada,” and “Jobs in Canada for Americans.”
Trump’s victory is historic on several fronts and he will be the first former president to return to the White House since Grover Cleveland in 1892. Click here to read more.
WASHINGTON D.C. - Sleepy Joe is looking bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready for retirement in Rehoboth Beach.
In the wake of Kamala Harris’s crushing defeat to Donald Trump, President Joe Biden addressed the election results Thursday in a speech at the White House. Appearing chipper and energized, the outgoing president urged Americans to accept the outcome and dial down the political rhetoric.
“Something to hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature,” Biden said. “I also hope we can lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system. It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent, and it can be trusted, win or lose.”
Biden has not seemed this happy and this coherent since the early days of his presidency. I think he’s feeling an incredible amount of schadenfreude, the icky yet pleasurable feeling you get when you witness a rival’s downfall, and a sense of accomplishment for being the only Democrat to have ever defeated Trump.

HAWAII - KAPOLEI, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow/Gray News) - The race for the White House is reaching classrooms and one lesson has some parents raising their eyebrows.
The controversy is over a two-page document that was handed out to classrooms at Kapolei Middle School in Hawaii.
The assignment broke down where the U.S. presidential candidates, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump, stand on the issues.
The Hawaii Department of Education confirms the document was put together by a group of teachers at the school who simplified the information in a candidate comparison article from the New York Times.
The material given out to students lists their stances on six issues, including crime and immigration.
The lesson is upsetting some parents like Angel Morales, who felt it was biased against the former president.
“Very upset,” Morales said. “I think teachers should do their job as teachers; stick to education and not politics.” Click here to read more.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Although the death toll has now exceeded 230, other news has largely pushed Hurricane Helene off the front pages. Yet, there will be years spent rebuilding lives, homes and even cities.
Tennessee deer hunters are there, largely behind the scenes, helping in those relief efforts.
Hunters for the Hungry (HFTH) is a decades-old program of the Tennessee Wildlife Federation (TWF). Through HFTH, nearly 10 million servings of venison have been donated to Tennesseans in need since the program’s inception. It was 2016, however, when HFTH Program Manager Matt Simcox saw a special need.
Whether it's tornadoes or floods, victims and relief workers need food. As news spread of the deadly flooding and devastation in North Carolina and East Tennessee, Simcox begin reaching out.
"This hurricane hit on the opening weekend of the archery deer hunting season," said Simcox. "I called the processors I work with in East Tennessee just to check on them and make sure they were okay. I told them that as deer were brought in (for HFTH), we would send it to immediate relief efforts, where people were actually cooking in the field. There were lots of people volunteering to cook for those in need, but they needed meat."
Simcox said one of the first processors he spoke with, H&H Market near Elizabethton, Tenn. told him they would donate their services and process those deer for free. He also promoted the effort on social media and Simcox said in a short period of time H&H Market processed and donated more than 50 deer for the Helene relief effort.
YEMASSEE, S.C. - Authorities in South Carolina are trying to capture 43 monkeys that escaped from a primate research facility.
According to the Yemassee Police Department, the escape happened at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center. Police say 43 rhesus macaque primates got out of their enclosure and are on the run.
Police say staff from the primate facility "have eyes on the primates and are working to entice them with food."
The primates are all very young females weighing 6-7 pounds. They’ve never been used for testing because of their age, and they’re too young to carry disease, police said.
"The public is advised to avoid the area as these animals are described as skittish and any additional noise or movement could hinder their safe capture," police said. "Residents are urged to keep their doors and windows securely closed and to report any sightings immediately by dialing 911. Please do not attempt to approach these animals under any circumstances."
