In a reunion at a Fredericton airport that left many onlookers speechless, a Syrian family was made whole again after being separated for more than three years.

The Al Khlief brothers and their families have been separated since 2016, when one brother and his family came to Canada as part of the government’s efforts to resettle thousands of Syrian refugees. The other brother stayed behind in Syria.

Danielle Connell, a research services officer at the university, told CTV Atlantic that she and her colleagues were “moved greatly by the situation” and decided to privately sponsor the rest of the family to come to New Brunswick.Connell said that seeing the family reunite was “worth every question and every email.”

“I don’t know how I’m feeling. I cannot even describe it right now. It’s like all mixed together,” Raghad told CTV Atlantic. She said she felt “happy, nervous, shaking – everything, like, I could feel right now.”

William Watson: Now we know how well Trudeau’s Syrian refugees are doing. It’s not goodWilliam Watson: Now we know how well Trudeau’s Syrian refugees are doing. It’s not good fpcomment You’d almost think the program was set up to fail on purpose Whaaaaaa? You mean the plan to bring in the same number of refugees in one month that Canada takes in one year didn't go well? And then quickly give them citizenship so they can vote? This sounds like it was drummed up by a drama teacher who wants to create racial division. Did any come from war torn Syria? Or were they all already in safe countries and came here for economic reasons and virtue signaling by Trudeau?
