My initial thoughts were that this was a bad satirical piece, but I was quickly intrigued. The resemblance is uncanny.

  Yeah, is this real? Or is it nut-job stuff? Either way, a surprisingly fun read.

  You know who Justin Trudeau also looks like ? Pierre Trudeau.

    I don't think the resemblance is that strong: https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F03%2FMAR20_TRUDEAU_VS_TRUDEAU_POST-1.jpg&sp=1637242612T55472a9634d2c3063fcd90fd96755cae3b1fadf64ee334eb7ea42be01169e24f https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2...

  It was also a known fact at the time that Margaret, his mother, was "promiscuous". The son is also much closer in height to Castro (6'3) than to his alleged father Pierre (5'7) and mother (5'6).

Wow that is entertaining and very interesting but it seems like, in accordance with other plausible-seeming internet conspiracy theories, this one relies on one seriously defective fact: Barbados is in no way "nearby" to Cuba. Ottawa is itself closer to Havana than is Barbados. That seems to scuttle the entire thing.

  But Cuba is definitely ‘on the way’ to Barbados if you’re coming from Ottawa.

  > Ottawa is itself closer to Havana than is Barbados. Wow, this looks really wrong on Google Maps (Mercator strikes again!), but I looked it up and you're right. Havana to Ottowa: 1585 miles. Bridgetown, Barbados to Havana: 1644 miles.

DNA should make short work of any guesswork. Even from relatives.

I thought this was a joke at first, but then they go through lists of sex scandals and traveling and... Is ANY of that true? Please. I had never considered that Trudeau and Castro were friends, let alone lovers.

  No idea, but the theory is as plausible as it is hilarious.
