We want to reassure the president and the people of the United States that we are their best friends and their neighbour, and we will be there to help them in a situation that truly is without parallel in our country or theirs,

People here in Canada, especially in Atlantic Canada because of that Acadian connection, felt that 'well, maybe we could take some of these people in, especially the children. We could offer them a place of temporary refuge,'Â
Quite clearly this is a human disaster of enormous proportions. We have tens and tens of thousands of displaced people across the United States,.
