The super fun event where the PM enjoyed beating drums, shaking hands with people and indulging in serving food became even more joyous when he met his namesake.

If you don't already know, Syrian refugees Muhammad and Afraa Bilan, named their son after the Canadian PM as a gesture of thanks to the country that offered them sanctuary.

Since December 2015 more than 40,081 refugees have settled in the country and the PM has been more than just welcoming to make them comfortable.
