Canadians are poking fun at America’s 45th President Donald Trump by claiming to build an ice wall to stop fleeing Americans.
Applications for immigration in Canada caused the official website to crash overnight as news of America’s incumbent President started to filter through.
Donald Trump has been very vocal about his plans to build a wall across the Mexican border to keep illegal immigrants out, but his own citizens could be facing the same treatment now he is in power.

Earlier this year Trump dismissed the idea of a wall with Canada during a televised debate, saying: “With Canada, you’re talking about a massively long piece. You’re talking about a border that would be about four times longer.
“It would be very, very hard to do – and it is not our biggest problem. I don’t care what anyone says. It is not our big problem.”
