Canadian Startup Uses Trump to Lure Tech Workers (siliconbeat.com)

An anonymous reader writes: A Canadian startup "is using Republican front-runner Donald Trump in its latest campaign to recruit tech talent," reports Silicon Beat. The company's site claims that 31% of Americans they'd surveyed would consider moving to Canada if Trump were elected President. "Now, while we don't think Americans will actually move en masse to Canada if the election doesn't go their way, we do want to extend an offer. Because it's the polite, Canadian thing to do." The Washington Post reported a surge in Google searches in March for "how can I move to Canada," actually slowing down the Canadian government's immigration web site. Meanwhile, a coalition of Canadian mayors is visiting California this week to promote Canada's booming technology sector. Toronto's mayor told Bloomberg, "The embracing of diversity as opposed to it being some sort of political issue is a huge advantage we have."

Trump says a lot of shit he can't do, doesn't have any experience doing, and can't back up with any even remotely concrete details. Trump says he will make you richer! Trump says he will fix all the roads! Trump says he will ban shitty music from the radio! It's pure unfettered populism.

I guess, if you're a spineless twat who thinks anyone to the right of lenin is some kind of fascist.

Its not about left vs right. Trump is one of the more ideologically moderate Republican candidates, despite his sudden conversion to anti-abortion and anti-gun-control views.
Its just that he says any crazy thing that comes into his head, and we are really worried about the damage he might do.
