"OTTAWA (Reuters) - The number of U.S. citizens
visiting Canada's main immigration Web site has shot
up six-fold as Americans flirt with the idea of
abandoning their homeland after President George W.
Bush's election win this week.

"When we looked at the first day after the election,
November 3, our Web site hit a new high, almost double
the previous record high," immigration ministry
spokeswoman Maria Iadinardi said on Friday.

On an average day some 20,000 people in the United
States log onto the Web site, www.cic.gc.ca -- a
figure which rocketed to 115,016 on Wednesday. The
number of U.S. visits settled down to 65,803 on
Thursday, still well above the norm."
