As the U.S. presidential election raged on, some Canadians were freaking out over a potential Trump in the White House.
#MeanwhileInCanada was an outlet for America's northern neighbour to stress out over who would be the 45th U.S. president.
It looked a lot like Canadians were going through the five stages of grief:
Denial
Some didn't think it was possible for Trump to come close to winning. As the states turned red, many kept the faith that Americans would vote for Hillary Clinton:

When that didn't work, others tried to reason with U.S. citizens through the third stage of grief.

Many called for a wall between the two countries. As the jokes dried up, in came the fourth stage.
Depression
