And takes them all, that would make America appear foolish.

TORONTO (AP) -- 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.

A spokeswoman for Trudeau said Trudeau has a message for Trump.

"The Prime Minister is looking forward to discussing the successes of Canada's 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 Canada's 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.

but remember he wants to lift sanctions for Russia. There is always something else going on and Bannon is behind all this too.

Not during the Bush mis-adminstration. I didn't think anyone could top that, but this guy did it in one week.

i thought for sure after 8 years of W's destabilizing bullshit and 8 years of sane stable leadership under Obama, we would have learned something and voted to continue on a stable path to a responsible partnership with the rest of the world.

i was wrong. instead we're self destructing quickly on a scale unimaginable to me a few months ago.

eventually we'll have to swallow the rest of the pill and re-learn how much harder it is to build things up than it is to tear them down.
