When elections don't go a certain way in the U.S., many voters inevitably utter the slogan, "I'm moving to Canada."
Britons on social media also took up the refrain after the result of the U.K. referendum became clear last night.
American comedian Mike Drucker suggested Britons use his place as a waypoint before proceeding north.
But another comedian from the U.S., Jack Moore, tweeted that, perhaps, Canada isn't far enough away to avoid the dual threats of Brexit and a Trump presidency.
