Canada broke the Internet, literally When the results of the 2016 presidential election began to roll in, people rushed to the Canadian Immigration website, which resulted in the site going down. Users logging on to the site were greeted with an error message. Over the course of the election, many joked about booking flights to the "Great North" in the event that Donald Trump becomes president of the United States. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated the president-elect by saying: "We're going to keep working with people right around the world. We're going to work with our neighbours, and I'm going to work with president-elect Trump's administration, as we move forward in a positive way for, not just Canadians and Americans, but the whole world."
