#NeverTrump, meet Maple Match.
A 25-year-old entrepreneur from Texas is tapping into the anti-Trump buzz about moving to Canada by creating an online matchmaking site with this premise: Can’t bear the thought of President Donald Trump? Marry a Canadian.
Aimed squarely at Americans, the new dating service offers a decidedly political sales pitch to help the #NeverTrump crowd “find the ideal Canadian partner to save them from the unfathomable horror of a Trump presidency.”
According to Public Radio International, the website, Maple Match, is not up yet but the waiting list for the dating app has already attracted about 20,000 Americans and more than 5,000 Canadians.
The bid to create cross-border couples is the brainchild of Joe Goldman, an education researcher and entrepreneur from Austin. Goldman told PRI that the service is a serious endeavor, not simply a snarky effort to create a Trump-bashing political site:
“I think the sense of urgency that’s been created by the Donald Trump candidacy has brought some interest to Maple Match, but ultimately Maple Match has just uncovered something that’s been there for a long time. Americans and Canadians have been really close together, both literally and culturally, and I think there is something to this.”
