The Google search keywords "Move to Canada" and "How to Apply for Canadian Citizenship" spiked about an hour into the yelling match. "How to apply for Canadian citizenship" peaked at around 10:30 pm, based on <a href="https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=how%20to%20apply%20for%20canadian%20citizenship&date=now%201-d&geo=US">Google</a> search trends. <img class=" wp-image-12614236" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/09/1f23676e-pa-55788331.jpg" alt="United States President Donald J.

Naturally, Twitter was a goldmine of memes and hilarious tweets from members of the US public who felt that moving to Canada was now their only option. "This is a 90 minute commercial for Canada," one person wrote. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/bryanyang/status/1311122649825894401]] "Looks like I’m moving to Canada because this debate has me questioning the future of this country," another user agreed. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Arieschulaa/status/1311126936265961473]] A third user couldn't decide between moving to Mexico and Canada, writing: "Me digging my way to Mexico or Canada ... whichever I find first." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/katalinuh/status/1311151054852038656]] And it wasn't just citizens of the US tweeting about a potential move to Canada, many Canadians themselves gave their two cents. I mean, do Canadians actually want to see Americans moving to their country? Well, not if these tweets are anything to go by: One Canadian user wrote: "Well, one I know the US/Canada border is already closed but is there a way to, like, DOUBLE close the border?" [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/coreyhogan/status/1311138298677534720]] Another chimed in: "Watching the debate I feel I need to remind you all that the border is closed Americans have a better chance of going to the moon than to coming to Canada." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/suecorvette/status/1311134602312941575]] "Sorry, we’ve built a wall on our southern border," a third joked. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/TimisYoung/status/1311155988104241152]] Some Canadians had sympathy though, with one writing: "Cheering you all on from this side of the border! You got this!"
