Justin Trudeau and Syrian Refugees

Hamilton: Through the votes we recently casted at the ballot box, we decide to accept over 25,000 Syrian refugees into the safety and freedom of our Canadian arms, according to Hamilton Spectator. A portion of these refugees, have and will end up as our neighbours in Hamilton. Justin Trudeau, our prime minister by an overwhelmingly popular vote, made Syrian aid a significant part of his platform. Last month, the company I work for gave me a $50 gift certificate for Fortinos as a Christmas gift. My wife and I started a Facebook group and decided to ask all of our family and friends to donate any leftover or unwanted gift cards to our cause. I decided that I wanted to put it into the hands of a Syrian refugee family that will arrive in Hamilton over the next few months. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
