Canada will offer temporary residence permits to people stranded in the country as a result of US President Donald Trump's travel ban, the immigration ministry said Sunday.

"Let me assure those who may be stranded in Canada that I will use my authority as minister to provide them with temporary residency if needed as we have done in the past," Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said at a news conference.

2. Thanks

Thanks Canada! You have helped citizens and residents of the U.S. yet again. In 1979, you rescued some of our embassy personnel in Iran. Then, in 2001, you housed all the poor folks trapped in the aviation aftermath of 911. Now, yet again, you have help us, the people. Thank you very much.
