Canada To Build Wall Along Its Border With The U.S.

img_6921TORONTO, Canada (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Donald Trump’s campaign promise of building a great wall along the U.S.-Mexican border is being matched by Justin Trudeau.  The Canadian prime minister today announced that Canada will build a wall along its southern border with the United States.

The Canadian government’s announcement came just a day after Tuesday’s U.S. elections in which Trump was elected the 45th president.

Since Trump was announced the winner in the presidential contest, tens of thousands of Americans have started to act on their promise to move to Canada if Trump were elected.  Last night, the Canadian immigration website crashed due to unprecedented visits, mostly from U.S. citizens.

Fearing that that Canada will be overwhelmed by Americans fleeing the U.S., Trudeau said that his government has decided to build a wall all along the U.S.-Canada border.

But unlike Trump’s plan, Trudeau said that Canada will pay for the building of the wall. (Trump has said that Mexico will pay for the southern border wall.)

Meanwhile, pro-Clinton Californians are pressuring Governor Jerry Brown to make good on his promise that if Trump is elected, he will build a wall around the entire state of California.

Thousands Of Americans Fly Out Of U.S. Day After Trump’s Election

img_6906WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – They promised, and they delivered.  Thousands of Americans who had promised to leave the country if Donald Trump were elected president flew out of various international airports in the U.S. the day after Tuesday’s elections.

The airport authorities in Washington Dulles Airport, San Francisco International Airport, LAX, and Chicago’s O’Hare seemed to have prepared for the eventuality.  International flights were allowed to take off simultaneously (see photo), with the expert guidance of control tower personnel who were asked to report on a 24-hour schedule.

Airport authorities told The Adobo Chronicles that majority of the flight destinations of passengers escaping the Trump victory included Canada, EU nations, Australia, Japan and the Philippines.

More flights have been added by the airlines to accommodate the sudden exodus or American-born as well as naturalized citizens.

The Clintons were not among those who fled the country.

 

BREAKING: Filipino Americans Could Decide Election Of U.S. President

IMG_6905.PNGSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – With an almost dead-heat presidential contest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, the votes that will be cast for third-party candidates like Jill Stein and Gary Johnson in Tuesday’s elections could spell the loss or victory for either major candidate.

Even a 3% vote for either Stein or Johnson could mean 3% less for Clinton or Trump which basically would erase the polls’  margin of error between the two major candidates.

But what if another 3 Million votes were taken away from Clinton or Trump?

Well, that’s exactly what’s brewing among American voters who are of Filipino descent who remain undecided on their presidential choice.

There is a growing consensus among FilAms (Filipino Americans) to write in Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s name in the U.S. presidential ballot.

Better safe than sorry?
