\"because<\/a><\/p>\n

It really happened. Franchising in Canada just grew 20% because Trump won the U.S. Presidential Election.<\/b> Crazy, right?<\/p>\n

Trump<\/a> did it-and he alienated a lot of people in the process. Now more than a few of them want to move to Canada.<\/p>\n

Some of them will eventually start businesses in Canada. Some will even open franchise businesses<\/a> up. They’ll have to. That’s because someone<\/em> is going to have to feed and clothe all of the U.S. citizens who are going to pack their families up and move North-and they’re going to need ed all sorts of services to help them with the transition. And once they’ve settled into their homes, they’ll be hiring companies to help them with home maintenance, repairs…there are too many things to list.<\/p>\n

The Canadian government must be licking their chops due to the potential tax revenue that will soon start pouring in.<\/p>\n

But Seriously<\/h2>\n

I don’t know how many U.S. citizens will actually pick up and move to The Great White North. I don’t know how many of them will launch franchises. But here’s what I do<\/em> know.<\/p>\n

We have a new President-Elect, and his name is Donald J. Trump.<\/b><\/p>\n

In one of ugliest Presidential campaigns ever witnessed, a winner has emerged…and it’s the person most people thought wouldn’t<\/em> win.<\/p>\n

Except him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I remember texting my brother-in-law Michael at around 9:00 p.m. (ET<\/em>) I told him I predicted Hillary would win by 5-6% earlier in the day, but that maybe it would end up being a little closer than that when it was all said and done. He told me that he knew she’d win, too, but felt that things were tightening up a bit.<\/p>\n

By 10 p.m. my wife was kind of freaking out. I wasn’t. (Although the numbers coming out of Florida, North Carolina and Michigan were<\/strong> starting to get my attention<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

Then it happened<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I never<\/em> thought Trump would win. I said it even after<\/em> he blew every Republican Primary candidate out of the water. I said it in the months and weeks running up to Election Day. A lot of people did. You?<\/p>\n
