(CNN) While many in the United States, caught off-guard by President Trump's executive order on immigration, protested and heaped condemnation, the neighbor to the north took a decidedly different tack.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated his country's open-door policy on refugees in a series of tweets.

"To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith," the first, posted Saturday afternoon said. "Diversity is our strength."
