Ahead of the [upcoming US presidential election](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/election-escape) in November, many Americans have expressed that they will be considering moving to Canada in the case that a certain candidate gets elected into office. This bold declaration has inspired many brands to capitalize on this notion, including [Spotify](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotify-7), which created a 'Moving to Canada' playlist.

Spotify draws attention to its [Moving to Canada playlist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-cover-art) with an ad titled 'Spotify: Moving,' which features a couple driving their entire house north, set to the tune of Flo Rida's 'My House.'

As well as featuring this track by Flo Rida, the playlist on Spotify also includes a number of home- and moving-themed tunes like 'Run Away with Me' by Carly Rae Jepsen, as well as 'Moving in the Dark' by Neon Trees.
