What do Canadians think of Prime Minister Trudeau welcoming the Syrian refugees?

As seen here, it was quite a happy scene as Mr. Trudeau greeted the first planeload of 163 refugees.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/12/world/americas/s...

There is a goal of receiving 10,000 refugees by the end of the year.

So, with 60 more plane-loads in the next 19 days, Mr. Trudeau is going to be quite a busy bee making the same speech an average of 3.16 times a day. Then another 93 planeloads to welcome with the same cheerfulness in January and February.

Obviously Americans will be very interested to see his response to the 154th planeload of refugees.

Update:

I agree that to a LOT of Americans the actual results of another country's experience won't change what story they like best. I do think that there are swing voters, and that this will be viewed as Canada's experiment. Whether Canadians will be as welcoming of 163 refugees after they have experience with the previous 24,837 will be a reality check on how good an idea it was when prospective Presidential nominees are spouting their positions on what U.S. policy should be on the same issue.

Update 2:

If the Canadian policy on the refugees has problems, those will show themselves. If it works well, that will show itself.

I appreciate that Prime Minister Trudeau and Canada are putting themselves on the line for doing the experiment instead of just talky-talk.

Update 3:

I don't seriously expect the Prime Minister to personally keep greeting every planeload of refugees, but I do believe the level of happiness with the plan in the Canadian population 2½ months from now will be observable and something to be compared to today.

    "What do Canadians think of Prime Minister Trudeau welcoming the Syrian refugees?"

    If the only issue Canada faces is how we greet Syrians instead of doing things like banning entire cultures - I think we're doing pretty darned good. I'd sure rather our PM show some compassion then act like a dick - yes.

    The same news-story and photo's ran in Canadian news sources too you know - did you really have to source an item that happened in Toronto to the NY Times. Do you not think a Canadian broadcaster might have a more Canadian perspective? Seems reasonable.

    "Obviously Americans will be very interested to see his response to the 154th planeload of refugees."

    I doubt they really care; I hardly care how Americans greet aircraft or those on it.

    Oh look a boatload of Cubans just landed on some Florida beach, let's watch intently shall we [not]. Sorry - that doesn't happen.

    I hold him responsible for any bad behaviour on the part of the refugees.
