PM Justin Trudeau says refugees are 'Welcome to Canada'

Canadian prime minster Justin Trudeau has released a statement saying that Canada will welcome anyone into the country, a day after president Donald Trump signed an executive order that indefinitely bans refugees from Syria from entering the country and temporarily bans immigration from other Muslim countries.

''To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada,'' Trudeau tweeted.
