Distraught Americans: We Want Out!

Could the election results be a boon for the travel industry? Americans frustrated with the outcome of the election—and I mean really frustrated—aren’t just sitting around and grumbling. They’re dialing up embassies and consulates—New Zealand, Canadian, Australian—to find out how they can emigrate. According to a story in today’s San Francisco Chronicle, a number of embassies are fielding calls. As far as Canadian officials are concerned, “disgust with the U.S. president would neither help nor hurt an applicant’s chances of being accepted by Canada.” Also, Slate today offers an explainer on how to move to Canada: “Applications take an average of 25 months to process.” Don’t they realize that’s half-way through Bush’s next term?
