The wall
3/11/2016, 1:15 p.m.
For those who are watching the presidential nominating contest like a horse race, here are the latest results since Super Tuesday and Virginia’s participation:
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton won Mississippi and Louisiana, while Bernie Sanders won Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska and Maine.
On the Republican side, Donald Trump claimed Hawaii, Michigan, Mississippi, Kentucky and Louisiana, while Ted Cruz won Idaho, Kansas and Maine.
In case you missed it, as the final votes rolled in on Super Tuesday, March 1, Google searches for “How to move to Canada” spiked, according to analytics by Google Trends. By midnight, such searches went up 1,150 percent.
Faced with the scary possibility of Mr. Trump becoming the GOP nominee for president after his seven-state victory that night, many people apparently rushed to their computers to start planning their exit strategy from the United States.
We find it ironic that in this campaign filled with Republican vitriol about immigrants racing from Mexico, Syria and elsewhere to cross the U.S. border, many of our own residents are thinking of packing and heading north out of the country.
So how’s Canada taking it?
We haven’t heard yet.
But wouldn’t it be laughable if, like the Republicans here, Canadian leaders, too, are thinking of building a wall to keep Americans out?
Our only question: Will they make us pay for it?
