In order to understand Trudeau, we need to look at his background.

According to a persistent rumor, Justin Trudeau is the "love child" of Cuban tyrant and mass murderer Fidel Castro. The Canadian government took this rumor seriously enough to issue a denial, but the denial itself raises some interesting questions. According to Douglas Perry, writing in The Oregonian, "A persistent internet rumor has led Canada's government to officially deny that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the love child of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. The Associated Press reported the denial Sunday and added that Cuba has never claimed it and Trudeau's parents never visited Cuba until several years after Justin Trudeau was born.'"

As Perry pointed out, though, "At the time of the social-media post, Justin Trudeau was being heavily criticized for praising Castro in the wake of the communist tyrant's death. Pierre Trudeau and Castro had had a friendship in the 1970s and '80s, and Pierre and Margaret visited Cuba in 1976. . . Margaret Trudeau, nearly three decades younger than her husband, made tabloid headlines in the 1970s for dancing nights away at New York discos such as Studio 54 while her husband was busy with affairs of state in Ottawa. She infamously had dalliances with celebrities such as actors Ryan O'Neal and Jack Nicholson."
