The fact that Justin Trudeau’s mother, Margaret Trudeau, visited Castro in Cuba in 1976—during the height of the Cold War—is another argument used by believers.
Although Justin did not accompany the group, his younger brother Michel did, and Castro’s heart softened at the sight of the newborn infant.
Just so you know, Justin came into this world on Christmas Day, 1971, which is almost four years before Margaret and her husband, the late Pierre Trudeau, flew to Cuba to meet with Castro.
In the wake of Castro’s 2016 death, when Trudeau lauded the communist dictator as a “larger than life revolutionary” and emphasized his familial links to Fidel, the conspiracy idea gathered momentum.
Many people in Canada continue to embrace the conspiracy idea, despite the fact that the government denied it in 2018.
