Canadians expressed their disbelief on social media Wednesday morning, as they woke up to a world with Donald Trump elected to be the next President of the United States.

The phrase "Oh America" was trending worldwide after the election results rolled in, handing the White House to Trump with a solid victory over opponent Hillary Clinton.

Several Canadians simply tweeted "Oh America, what have you done?" Many others said they felt particularly grateful to live in Canada after the election result. "Hug your Canadian passports a little tighter today," Twitter user Olivia Honas said. "We are the blessed."

I'm especially grateful to live in Canada this morning but still so sad. Oh, America. What have you done? — Anne Locke (@AnneLocke) November 9, 2016

#RIPAMERICA Canada need to think about building a wall.... Oh America — JimmyT (@ElHenderz) November 9, 2016

Oh America, I feel so bad for u. What have you done. Canada's Citizenship and Immigration department website has crashed #Election2016 — Space Cadet (@spacecadet2016) November 9, 2016

Canadians also sought to distance themselves from the U.S. with the hashtag #ProudToBeCanadian.

So #proudtobecanadian.We understand what it means to be good people & have elected leaders who reflect the same values. #ImStillWithHer — Tara Olsvik (@tolsvik) November 9, 2016

After an election campaign in which some Trump opponents threatened to move to Canada if he won, Immigration Canada's website crashed late Tuesday. Many blamed the outage on a possible surge in Americans looking to move north.

But as some Americans tweeted their intent to move north, others were only too eager to help push them out. Several ardent Trump supporters said the country would soon be better off without the celebrities and others who had vowed to move to Canada if he won.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Trump in a statement on Wednesday morning, emphasizing the close friendship and economic ties between Canada and the United States. "The relationship between our two countries serves as a model for the world," he said in the statement. "Our shared values, deep cultural ties, and strong integrated economies will continue to provide the basis for advancing our strong and prosperous partnership."

Trudeau doubled down on his message of shared values with a series of tweets, saying that "our common purpose is to build countries where everyone has a fair chance to succeed, and where the government works first, foremost and always for the people it governs."
