Rats or Refugees?

OTTAWA
(Reuters) – The number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada’s main immigration
Web site has shot up six-fold as Americans flirt with the idea of abandoning
their homeland after President Bush’s election win this week.

"When we looked at the first day after the election, Nov. 3, our Web
site hit a new high, almost double the previous record high," immigration
ministry spokeswoman Maria Iadinardi said on Friday.

On an average day some 20,000 people in the United States log onto the
Web site, www.cic.gc.ca — a figure which rocketed to 115,016 on Wednesday.
The number of U.S. visits settled down to 65,803 on Thursday, still well
above the norm.
