The website to apply for immigration to Canada was intermittently down Tuesday night as Donald Trump performed strongly in the election.

Lefty celebrities from singer Barbra Streisand to Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston have repeatedly threatened they would renounce their U.S. citizenship and apply for status in Canada if GOP candidate Trump were elected president.
