"But above all, our responsibility to act lies in our values, which are mere paper promises if we do not act upon them at moments like this. Countries have dark moments in their history when we have turned our backs on those seeking protection. "

I'm sickened and saddened by those on these comments acting like the Neanderthals that voted in Trump.  I don't believe that your opinions represent those of the majority of Canadians.  I am proud that Trudeau is making a strong effort to heal the damage to our reputation that Harper created and restore our national pride in being a compassionate country made of immigrants who have been there.  I look around and see 2nd gen immigrants gratefully educated and contributing.

Your messages taking a stance against stepping in and helping sounds to me like the first step in normalizing Trumps crazy, reckless actions.  Do some reading on the beginning of Hitlers rule and you will see some scary parallels.
