A website is offering one anti-Donald Trump American a whole lot of cash to “Trexit” the United States and hightail it to Canada if the GOP nominee becomes president.

{mosads}Parachute, MapQuest’s editorial site, is holding a contest that’ll deliver $10,000 to a grand prize winner, along with “an abundance of information and guidance about life in Canada.”

Trexit, a play on the U.K.’s “Brexit” from the European Union, is defined by MapQuest as, “a term for the potential departure from the U.S. because Donald Trump is elected to commander in chief.” The mapping site cites a March poll that found nearly a fifth of Americans “have stated they’ll move to Canada” if Trump wins the White House.

The promotion comes months after MapQuest debuted its “Avoid Trump” map, which gave users a chance to either “flee” or “be” the Republican presidential nominee. The “flee” option highlighted ways to steer clear of any Trump-related events going on in various U.S. cities, while the “be” choice offered ways to “live large” like the real estate mogul.

True Trexit believers have until Election Day to enter the sweepstakes at mapquest.com/trexit to attempt to win a financial boost with their move to our country’s neighbor to the north.

And if Trump doesn’t win in November?

The site says it’ll award “a consolation prize of $10,000 to the winner to travel the U.S. and discover all of the things that truly make America great.”
