You can’t expect him to be too critical of his own father.

[daverdal]

Castro is clearly Justin's father.

[KrustyCheese]

I'd defend my dad like that too, even if he was a dictator, i mean its family, right?

[patrickpatterson]

Justin went off-script. He loves his real father very much

[Ved]

Such a touching father-son moment at 1:01.

[timothyunterthiner]

Bro, he’s literally a spitting image of Fidel!

[conradsenior]

Fidel Castro is Justin Trudeau's father. They look exactly alike.

[johnnysmith]

Boy actually looks more like Fidel than like his supposed father Pierre Trudeau. It makes you wonder if this rumor is the actual truth.

[ronhenneberry]

Ah, I get it now. Trudeau wants to make the same improvements in Canada that Castro made in Cuba. God help us.

[envirojay]

This was no slip up. This was a look into the true JT.

[madfury]

We Spaniards are proud that you Canadians have as Primer Minister the grandson of a Spanish-born man, but almost half of us are deeply sorry that it is one of the worst exports we have ever had.

[mmartinez]

How people forget & forgive Justin is mind blowing, He must resign

[vatofat]

Acknowledging Castro was a dictator isn't as relieving after you hear Justin talk about admiring dictatorships. He's jealous of them because they don't have to listen to their pesky citizens.

[Igetwhatiwantalways]

Wow-shocking to see only 5 years ago, CBC had no problem having open debate about him, and today, CBC is licking his boots….🙄

[louisejeffries]

And 5 years later
Here we are
I guess the world Should have listened

[justiceincognito]

Trudeau has to speak nicely about hes father

[leprechaunsteve]

This whole comment section is about Justin Castro and I love it

[someguynyer]

"I admire China" "Castro was a great leader"...this guy is off his rocker

[youarealwaysonmymind]

OMG!! Justin Trudeau is the spitting image of Fidel Castro, not the old Fidel Castro but the young Fidel Castro. The resemblance is too uncanny. If you put a picture side by side of Justin Trudeau and a young Fidel Castro they are undeniable without a shadow of a doubt they are Father and Son. Look at Justin Trudeau's wavy hair and look of a young Fidel Castro's wavy hair and their features from top to toe they are exactly alike. There's no way in this world to deny that Fidel Castro is Justin Trudeau's Father....NO WAY... They are definitely Father & Son. And that's a Fact.

Look up the old game of trivial pursuit. One of the questions on history is "who called fidel Castro the sexiest man I ever met?" The answer is "Margaret Trudeau". There is your answer on who his father is.
