Folks on Twitter debated in a mostly civil manner about the pros and cons of a move to our neighbors in the North.
We fight. We have hope. We act like decent people. We do not run. We do not move to canada (althought montreal is nice).

Some pleaded with Americans not to consider moving to Canada -- mostly Canadians apparently. Others earnestly told people to stay and become educators -- teaching others to fight bigotry and hatred.
Dear Americans,

Please don't move to Canada and eat all of our poutine.
Thanks
As Donald Trumps lead over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton increased with a handful of states in the balance the hashtag 'move to Canada' continued to trend.
