Valid point about our PM's tweeted welcome:

"To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada
12:20 PM - 28 Jan 2017

As with Merkel's original welcoming call, these words from our PM may help explain the recent upsurge of refugee claimants at our border crossings.

I am beginning to suspect that our Prime Minister welcomes a large influx of refugees at the border as his defining moment on the world stage , leading a Canada that is a diversified and welcoming nation.  

Move over America and give us the downtrodden and poor.  We'll show you how it is done.

Why else would he have been so cavalier and quick with the welcome (knowing how porous our shared border is), given the situation to the south.
