It appears that extreme leftists in the U.S. are looking at the possibility of moving to Canada.
Google’s publicly available search data revealed a staggering 850% spike for “how to move to Canada from U.S.” following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Searches for “how to become a Canadian citizen” also jumped 550%.
Following the high court’s ruling, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau argued that government shouldn’t be able to regulate what a woman can and cannot do with her body.
Trudeau said, “My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.”
“No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body,” he added.

The Canadian leader also told reporters at a summit in Rwanda that he was thinking of women specifically in the U.S. affected by the end of Roe. “Today I think of those generations of women around the world and specifically in the United States who fought so hard to gain rights … and are facing this devastating setback.”
Canada holds some of the most radical abortion-friendly laws in the world. The country has no federal restrictions on abortions, and women can abort their unborn child at any stage of the pregnancy. Abortions in the country are also publicly funded, The Daily Wire previously reported.
Moving to Canada has been a popular consideration for many on the Left when U.S. politics don’t go their way. The new Google search trend echoes similar sentiments by Left-leaning celebrities leading up to and following the election of former President Donald Trump in November 2016.
Celebrities like Chelsea Handler, Lena Dunham, Stephen King, Barbara Streisand, and others all suggested they would move to America’s northern neighbor if Trump won the election. However, none of them followed through on their commitments.
