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 Canadas refugee policy.
Trudeau reacted to Trumps 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 Torontos airport in late 2015. Trudeau oversaw the arrival of more than 39,000 Syrian refugees soon after he was elected.
A spokeswoman for Trudeau said Trudeau has a message for Trump.
The Prime Minister is looking forward to discussing the successes of Canadas immigration and refugee policy with the President when they next speak, Trudeau spokeswoman Kate Purchase told The Associated Press.
Trudeau is expected to the visit the White House soon.
The prime minister has refrained from criticizing Trump to avoid offending the new president. More than 75 percent of Canadas exports go to the U.S.
Toronto Mayor John Tory also weighed in, noting that the city is the most diverse in the world.
We understand that as Canadians we are almost all immigrants, and that no one should be excluded on the basis of their ethnicity or nationality, Tory said in a statement.
Trump signed a sweeping executive order Friday that he billed as a necessary step to stop radical Islamic terrorists from coming to the U.S. Included is a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen and a 120-day suspension of the U.S. refugee program.
Trumps order singled out Syrians for the most aggressive ban, ordering that anyone from that country, including those fleeing civil war, are indefinitely blocked from coming to the United States.
The Syrian refugee crisis became a major issue in Canadas election in late 2015 because of the haunting image of a drowned 3-year-old Syrian boy washed up on a Turkish beach. The boy had relatives in Canada.
Trudeaus tweet quickly received more than 150,000 likes. Welcome to Canada trended in Canada.
Alrighty! Hark off ya hosers!,eh? Canada’s gonna let ya all in.
Gonna need to build a wall on the northern border.
“They’re hosed”.

GOOD. Let THEM be raped, murdered, robbed, and taken over, just like Europe, in the name of libtard stupidity.

Welcoming children from south of the border.
Suicide of the West.

Be pretty ironic if it turned out that Trudeau really did “grab ‘em in the p”
All talk.
From behind his own walled fortress.
I’d say all the C-130 Air Guard pilots just got a real world mission for their next drill weekend.
A Mariel Boatlift coming your way Canada!! You can have them.
So we are going to need a wall on the other border now?
Good. The USA is already a full blown shithole country because of refugess and illegals. Let Canada suffer now.
DOUBLE the budget for border security. There needs to be a HUGE one on the northern border.
