Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a world-class lesson in compassion last night when he personally greeted refugees arriving at the airport:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a battery of politicians from across the political spectrum were on hand at the Toronto airport to greet the refugees.

“You are home,” Mr. Trudeau said to the first passengers to disembark after a 16-hour flight from Beirut on a Canadian military aircraft. “You’re safe at home now.” The premier of Ontario, Kathleen Wynne, gave them winter coats.

Under a plan announced by Mr. Trudeau’s new government, a series of flights will bring 10,000 Syrian refugees into Canada by the end of this month and a total of at least 25,000 before March.

6. Canada is lucky to have this man as Prime Minister

Canada sets a good example for the rest of the world. I understand Germany's welcome to the refugees was excellent as well.

12. Oh yes. The German public went to the arrival points for Syrian refugees and

clapped as they arrived. That was sweet.

9. I'm so jealous of Canada.

They don't have the hard core crazy haters we have here in the US, or at least, there aren't nearly as large a percentage as they are here.

10. I hope they learned some English....

Otherwise his greeting sounded like this:

13. Trudeau obviously has not read Trump's book: Fear the Muslims! Fear the Hispanics!

Fear Everyone Who Is Not a White Christian American!

Thank goodness.

The picture is classic. The little girl needs to keep a copy of it always.

BTW, Trudeau looks like is is about fifteen! So young!

15. He Keeps Moving in the Right Direction

Justin Trudeau has confirmed he will withdraw Canadian fighter jets from the air strikes against Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria.

He informed US President Barack Obama of his decision hours after leading his Liberal Party to victory in the polls.

16. This...

is what your fighting for in your elections. You need a Democrat in the White House to have a modicum of sanity that is displayed here.
