 At the Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary, around 6 pm on Thursday, May 4, a mother named Afraa Bilan gave birth to her own Justin Trudeau. “We liked to put Justin Trudeau as a first name,” says Afraa, “because we love this person because, you know, he brought all the refugees to Canada, and we appreciate him.” 
 
 Baby Justin Trudeau has two older siblings, Naya and Nael, aged four and two. The 22-year-old mother and her husband, Muhammad Bilan, 29, are refugees from Damascus who arrived in Canada last February. “We hope [he will] get a nice chance to meet Justin Trudeau,” says Afraa, and “also [have] a good life in Canada.” 
 
 Here are some moments from Justin Trudeau Adam Bilan’s first day. In Ontario in February, another Syrian couple named their newborn Justin in tribute to the prime minister, but Justin Trudeau Adam Bilan is thought to be the first baby Justin Trudeau (not counting the original Justin Trudeau, of course).
– At last count, more than 40,000 Syrian refugees had made Canada their new home since November 2015. Now the Toronto Star reports that two of their number have thanked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his efforts with the ultimate compliment: They named their baby after him. Justin Trudeau Adam Bilan (and the BBC notes his first name is Justin Trudeau, not just Justin) was born Thursday in a Calgary hospital, the third child of Afraa and Muhammad Bilan, who arrived in the country in February 2016, their two young children in tow. "We love this man, we appreciate him," Afraa tells the Star, adding their new little JT is the first official Canadian in their family. "He got his citizenship before us!" The Bilans, who were from war-ravaged Damascus, faced an uncertain future there when Muhammad, a barber, found himself on the Syrian army's radar. After he was detained and released, the family heard about Trudeau's initiative to welcome Syrian refugees to Canada and made their way there. Trudeau wasn't at the airport when they arrived—the Independent notes he handed out winter coats at the Toronto airport when the first Syrian refugees under his tenure touched down in December 2015—but the Bilan family still feels a connection. Although the cold weather threw them at first, as did the language barrier, Afraa has since become fluent in English, and Muhammad works part-time in a grocery store. "Canada is much more safe—there's no war, nothing," Afraa tells the BBC. "Everything is different, everything is good—nothing like Syria."
