Welcome to Canada, X-Men, and a Laughing Orangutan
This is What's Trending Today.
Syrian Refugees in Canada
Justin Trudeau became the Canadian Prime Minister in November, and on Thursday night he may have made his biggest social media impression of his young term.
Trudeau was one of the first to welcome 163 Syrian refugees arriving in Canada. The refugees are among 25,000 Canada promised to accept by March.
As news spread of the refugees' arrival, Canadians began celebrating their country's openness with the hashtag Welcome To Canada.
Canadians like Twitter user @BriannaErnest wrote messages of support, saying, "my home is now your home, my country is now your country, and this safety is now your safety."
Trudeau said, "You are home, you're safe at home now," to the first group of refugees to leave the plane.
A Syrian refugee said to the Toronto Star, "We feel as if we got out of hell and we came to paradise."
Two viral videos
There are already seven films based on the X-Men comic books. Get ready for another one.
The trailer for "X-Men: Apocalypse" launched on YouTube on Friday morning and received almost 300,000 views in its first four hours.
The series follows characters like Wolverine, Professor Xavier and Magneto. They battle each other and various human enemies of mutants.
The films are guaranteed blockbusters. Since the first one came out 15 years ago, the Hollywood Reporter says the series sold $3 billion of tickets around the world.
The movie comes out in May.
Some might consider the powers of various X-Men characters "magical." After all, no one in real life can use mind control or see into the future like the X-Men characters can.
But one everyday magician posted a funny video to Facebook and YouTube, and in just a few days, it was seen over six million times.
Dan Zaleski of Connecticut went on a trip to Spain and visited a zoo. He showed an orangutan a little magic trick where he made a seed "disappear" using a paper cup.
The orangutan loved the trick and fell to the floor with laughter.
If you watched the video, we bet you're laughing, too.
And that's What's Trending Today.

加拿大的叙利亚难民
特鲁多于11月份就任加拿大总理一职。周四晚刚上任就在社交媒体上引起广泛关注。
特鲁多是首个向涌至加拿大的163名叙利亚难民敞开怀抱的总统。加拿大政府承诺到三月份时，接纳难民的数量为25,000名，当然也包括这163名难民。随着接纳难民的消息不断蔓延，加拿大人开始以“欢迎来到加拿大”为题，庆祝加拿大的开放性与包容性。
推特用户@BriannaErnest留言支持：“我们的家就是你们的家，我们的国家也就是你们的国家，你们可以安心在这里生活。”
特鲁多亲切地对第一批到达的难民说：“现在你们到家了，这里很安全。”
一名叙利亚难民在接受《多伦多星报》采访时表示：“就像是从地狱跃至天堂一般。”
两支让人欲罢不能的重磅视频
根据漫画书《X战警》改编所拍摄的影片已多达7部。接下来，准备迎接下一部电影吧。
周五一早，YouTube发布了《X战警：天启》的预告片，该预告在四个小时内获得300,000条评论。
电影中的角色有金刚狼，X教授和万磁王。他们互相争斗并与各种变种人搏斗。
由此看来，该电影又是一场引爆票房的大片。自从15年前第一部影片上映以来，该系列电影在全球的票房高达30亿美元。
该影片将于明年5月份上映。
一些人可能会觉得在X战警系列中，每个角色都非常“神奇”。毕竟，在现实世界中，人是无法像X战警中的人物那样用意念控制或洞悉未来。
一名魔术师在Facebook以及YouTube上传了一个搞笑视频，几天内的点击率便突破6百万次。
康乃狄克州的Dan Zaleski在西班牙旅游时，到当地的动物园游玩。他向猩猩展示了一个用纸杯将种子变没的小魔术。
猩猩非常喜欢这个魔术，乐得在地上打起滚来。
