Canada PM Trudeau welcomes Syrian refugees as US Muslims warn against hate speech

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau personally welcomed Syrian refugees at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. Meanwhile, just south of the border, American Muslims warned against a rising tide of anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate crimes.

More than 160 Syrian refugees of a total 25,000 expected to arrive in Canada by March were greeted by Prime Minister Trudeau and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne late Thursday. The two helped the newcomers pick winter coats from donations, Canadian broadcaster CBC reported.

There has been enormous pushback against efforts to bring Syrian refugees to the US amid calls by Republican presidential ticket hopeful Donald Trump to bar all Muslims from entering the country. But Canada is not the US, one advocate for Syrian refugees in Toronto told The Independent.
