Trudeau says Canada will take refugees banned by U.S.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

TORONTO –€” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a message for refugees rejected by U.S. President Donald Trump: Canada will take you.

He also intends to talk to Trump about the success of Canada’s refugee policy.

Trudeau reacted to Trump’s ban of Muslims from certain countries by tweeting Saturday: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.”

Trudeau also posted a picture of him greeting a Syrian child at Toronto’s airport in late 2015. Trudeau oversaw the arrival of more than 39,000 Syrian refugees soon after he was elected.

[Solly Mack]

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Might be simplest to annex NY state, tRump's home state and city!

[Solly Mack]

23. That might work.

[wishstar]

2. Good, I was hoping that might happen to help these refugees

Very cruel for America to turn away refugees who have already gone through long vetting process and been approved for US residency.

3. Ultimately Canada is the better choice as it is safer for them

4. They allowed the Sioux in when they were running from the U S Army

The only restriction was they not fight with the indigenous tribes. But the Canada winters were too unfriendly.

[HoneyBadger]

11. Then it is time for Mexico to mimic Canada

Much more friendly in the winter

5. Justin's half Donald's age yet twice his wisdom.

6. That's beautiful.

These caring words may not reach Trump
and the unAmerican unChristian GOP...

But many of us are heartened and inspired.
Thank you PM Trudeau!!

[cabot]

14. So proud of my PM!

I'm Tom Mulcair fan but I have to say, I'm incredibly proud of my Prime Minister. Well done!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. If US took 347,000 Syrian refugees in 14 months, it would still not be keeping pace with Canada

Why are the US and Americans so weak and afraid, in relative terms to Canada and Canadians?

[Mr.Bill]

17. I wonder if he will take

this Atheist from California. It may come to that.

[Alice11111]

18. Yes, Trudeau is a leader. I wish he would take some of us Americans 2

I'm ashamed of how DT represents our country.
Canada, please take us too.

[AlexSFCA]

19. caveat

As posted under another thread:

things are escalating very quickly. Justin Treadou is kindly welcoming influx of refugees and possibly others who are denied US entry?

Unfortunately, it is a no-win situation and was likey predicated by Bannon. Massive influx of refugees will quickly activate a movement against current governemnt 'establishment'. Look at propaganda, Justin is being hammered by right wing news outlets. Any accident in Canada blamed on refugees will change your country political landscape VERY quickly.

Be vigilant of any backlash and keep track of facts.

20. Does this mean a Trump Border Wall(TM) is going up along the Canadian border?

Or are walls only necessary to keep out the brown people from the south?

[Cryptoad]

21. I hate to say it but

if I was relocating today ,,,, i would prefer Canada over the USA. Makes me sad and Mad!

[HoneyBadger]

22. If you were a refugee, there is no reason to choose the US anymore
