The Fox station in Oklahoma on Wednesday gave supporters of former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney some helpful tips for fleeing the country before President Barack Obama starts his second term.
In the Fox 23 "Beat the Traffic" segment on the morning after Obama won re-election, traffic reporter Jeff Brucculeri took a look at some of the delays around Tulsa before having some fun with disgruntled voters.
"We had some folks make a special request," Brucculeri explained. "I know a lot people said that if their candidate lost the election, they'd be moving to Canada — not sure why, but that was some of the folks' promises out there."

Brucculeri advised Tulsa residents to take Highway 75 to Omaha, and then I-29 to the Canadian border.
"This is serious stuff," he told laughing staff in the newsroom. "When you get to Canada, you're going to hit the border here, make sure you got either your [passport] card or your passport, OK, to get into Canada now. Then you're going to get back on Highway 75 in Canada or it's actually the Lord Selkirk Highway. If you're moving to Canada, you're going to need to know this. Lord Selkirk Highway, OK?"
Montreal-based immigration lawyer immigration lawyer David Cohen told CNN that he had received calls from all over the United States after Romney lost on Tuesday.
"That's the amazing thing, when they speak on the phone. They're adamant. They feel very, very strong about it," Cohen said. "This government doesn't speak for me' is the language that we often hear."
