That! Is! Awesome! I wish the US had a heart

They was going to stone her cause she brought shame to the family. I'm glad someone stepped in cause she was good as dead and they allow it in all those middle East countries bad enough how they mutilate the women at a very young age

❤️🇨🇦❤️

Once upon a time the US did things like this. Glad Canada has the moral leadership we lack rn.

It’s a good thing she has Canada for help and not the US. She would become a political prisoner like all the other immigrant political prisoners Trump has imprisoned

Way to go Canada. Canadarocks

Canda for Miss Universe!!

Good for Canada!!!!!

Oh Canada

Canada is fantastic. It’s good to know there is still a liberal democracy still operating in North America. Go Trudeau and Go Canada 🇨🇦!

Offering protection from persecution is good. Let’s get serious and stop supporting and selling arms to the Saudis: the government that oppressed her. No?! And once starting doing the right things, be fair to the First Nation people at the north as well.

We prefer to go by 'Canada'.

canda can do!

This is good. Let’s get serious and stop supporting and selling arms to the Saudis: the government that oppressed her. No?!

Not just what she called it, it's what it was.

Had a great visit to Canda when I was young!

I've always wanted to visit Canda, but I can never find any flights...

I love what this lady is doing - she is very courageous. Also, great job to NPR for getting the word out.

Its spelled Canada you ilitrete news paper writer

Canada?

Canda is my favorite city 😂

And evil Trump is still supporting the criminal government of Saudi Arabia.

Thank you Canada

Canada accepts refugees but racist Bone Spurs Trump hates them.

Canada is what America should aspire to. May the death of American Exceptionalism come with the end of realDonaldTrump We could learn so much if we just stopped believing we already know everything.

Canda is beautiful this time of year. Good for hr.

Thank you Canada for being the country we used to be.

Where is Canda?

The CanEHdians are good people. Glad to hear Canda is helping.

That’s awesome!

Don’t you hate it when you tweet a misspelled word? Canda…

It appears the Department that controls the use of multiple vowels is still in shutdown 🇨🇦

Our closest allies, Britain and Canada, rescue non-citizen young women whose lives are threatened or feel threatened. We persecute them.

Canda... “Wa”-canda?

Thank you Canada!

Thank you for Canada!

Is Canda like Canada but not as cold? Because if it is sign me up! Still ❤️ you NPR

This is so in your face Canadian.

Canada has the morals we lack.

Good.

Oh Canada, I love you.

'I did it': Saudi teen fleeing alleged family abuse arrives in Canada as an asylum refugeeThe 18-year-old barricaded herself in an airport hotel in Bangkok and took to Twitter when Thai authorities threatened to deport her. Why tell us where she is , allowing her family to possibly track her down. I understand her desire to renounced Islam NOT wear a hijab and live life as a free modern Western woman. NOT Islamophobia to call out the backward qualities of these middle east Muslim nations.. but also call out Turkey as well on their insanity. She denounced Islam
