Why #Welcometocanada was trending on Twitter

JUSTIN TRUDEAU
NEW DELHI: Even as chaos and confusion reigned in airports around the US+ as Muslim immigrants were detained following Donald Trump's Friday order+ , a curious hashtag started trending on Twitter - #WelcometoCanada.


That was because Canadian Prime Minister and all-around nice
guy Justin Trudeau very opportunely tweeted:

Not just that, Trudeau also posted a photograph that was in such marked contrast to the emotions on display in US President Donald Trump's tweets and speeches. Trump's message was clearly 'We don't want you', while Trudeau's photo - from 2015, according to Reuters - showed him smiling and on his knees as he welcomed a refugee child.


As CaGrewal is a son of immigrants from India.nadian Parliamentarian Raj Grewal tweeted, he's "proud to be Canadian."

Canada's tourism minister Ricardo Miranda was also once a refugee.

Another lawmaker, Jagmeet Singh, a member of provincial parliament said he found Trump's ban on Muslim refugees and immigrants "disgusting".


Canada gave her a chance to live, said this woman:

She called herself a "daughter of Canada": eri Litorco @thatterigirl
I am a daughter of Canada, a daughter of immigrants, and a proud citizen of a country whose diversity is its strength.


And this Canadian immigration attorney stepped up and offered his services for free.


Jane Philpott, Canada's minister of health recalled welcoming the first plane of Syrian refugees.
