Dating Website Offers To Pair Canadians, Americans Fleeing A Donald Trump Presidency

The Canadian Press, 09 May, 2016 01:39 PM

A new dating website is offering to pair Americans with Canadian singles to save them from a Donald Trump presidency.

MapleMatch.com promises love and a U.S. escape plan if Trump becomes commander-in-chief.

CEO Joe Goldman says 4,150 people have signed up for the site — 70 per cent of them Canadian.

The Texas-based Goldman says he hatched the idea while watching Trump's "Super Tuesday" victories in March.

During the primaries, American Google searches for "Move to Canada" hit record numbers.

Previously, Destination Cape Breton has pitched the Nova Scotian island as a Trump-free paradise.
