Congratulations are in order to some political notables for a new baby and a new commitment.
The baby is the grandson of a former Prime Minister — who shares his granddad’s birthday:
eTalk has learned that Quebec Reporter Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau and her husband Justin Trudeau have welcomed a son, Xavier James Trudeau, into their family today. Sharing the same birthday as his late grandfather and former Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau, the healthy boy was born in Montreal this afternoon and weighed 9 pounds, 2 ounces. eTalk will have all the baby news and more in tonight's show at 7 p.m. ET on CTV
From the other side of the political spectrum comes news of pending nuptials between Helena Guergis, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and International Trade and Secretary of State for Sport, and Rahim Jaffer, the Edmonton MP who is also the chairman of the National Conservative Caucus. If a date has been set for the wedding, we’ve had no news of it yet but many female observers in the press gallery today were pretty impressed with the jewellry on Guergis’ finger.
Congratulations one and all!
