Trigger Event: Any Republican gets nominated
Destination: Canada

On 'The View', Symoné made an 'election confession': 'My confession for this election is if any Republican gets nominated, I'm going to move to Canada with my entire family. I already have my ticket. I literally bought my ticket, I swear.'

Note: Twitter users criticized Raven-Symoné for her comments, noting she said she'd leave if any Republican was nominated (which would inevitably happen). She even partnered with ABC News for a segment about what life would be like in Vancouver.
