The problem I see in this case is a lot of genuine uncertainty. Particularly if you are IT in a global reaching business, of whom would be affected by talk on clamping down on free trade and immigration.

Trump could end up being an old style Republican in disguise after all, for all we know, and the campaign bluster is just bluster. That's not bad for the career path. Trump could also be a genuine raging fascist. That's not really good for the career path at all. Or Trump could end up being in that "most likely" middle, aka a Berlusconi type figure. For the career path there, that's a solid "meh" (although I did hear there was a bit of a brain drain in the Berlusconi days).

Remember that Hillary Clinton was "most likely" to win. You can't take "most likely" for granted these days. So one needs to evaluate all options (without being so ridiculously alarmist and realize that the worst case doesn't always happen). In the worst case scenario, I can't imagine global-reaching companies being gun-ho about maintaining a strong presence here. And I "go where the jobs go", to be honest.

Some of the Canada querying I'm sure is OMG PANIC but maybe some of it is also hedging your bets...
