A Syrian refugee family in Canada has named their baby boy after the Canadian Prime Minister who gave them a new life, according to media reports. Afraa Hajj Hammoud and Mohammed Belal moved to Calgary in February, CBC reported. They have named their child, a baby boy, Justin-Trudeau Adam Bilal, it said. “My husband says ‘How about if we name the boy Justin-Trudeau, like him,’” Hammoud told CBC. “I was a little bit shocked ... when he says that, I smile a little bit, a small smile, then I says, ‘Yes, there is no problem, it will be like a small thank you for Justin Trudeau.’” The family said while choosing a non-Arabic name was unusual, they wanted to show their appreciation to the Prime Minister.
