Justin Trudeau wins hearts (again) by welcoming Syrian Refugees at the airport

Before the refugees arrived, Trudeau was swarmed by airport staff and the public for selfies:

The people, in Canada and all over the world, are smitten by Trudeau's hospitality - after all, this photo op seemed more genuine than heartfelt that the standard political fare.

This is called the real inclusive and progressive society. All Muslim refugees should embrace Canada and should uphold its Secular and Tolerant values. This is the example of the liberal society that countries like ours should follow as well.
