While the United States deliberates about the threat of Syrian refugees, its neighbor to the north, Canada, is following through on a promise to resettle 25,000 refugees before the year ends.

Newly-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the promise while campaigning in the recent elections with the Liberal Party and the Huffington Post reported on Thursday that the Canadian government will need to resettle 500 people each day to fulfill the promise.
