    A lot of people in the U.K. are suddenly googling how to move to Canada following the Brexit referendum.

    Canadians have gotten used to Americans threatening to move here after elections, but it took on extra urgency this year as Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination for president.

    But now Britons are considering the Great White North as well after a majority of people voted Thursday in favour of leaving the European Union.

    Google Trends shows there was a spike Thursday in moving-to-Canada searches as it became clear that the Leave side would prevail.

    Although Google's graph don't show the exact number of searches, it's clear there was a big jump.

    For comparison, here's the same chart but with searches for moving to Australia and New Zealand also thrown in.

    Canada is the world's lifeboat, pretty much.

    Justin Trudeau is a pretty big selling point.

    Brits, if you're upset by #Brexit, consider moving to Canada. Who would you rather have leading your country?
