An amusing article. Only one way to really prove paternity, so pretty much he-said-she-said here. Some youthful pictures of Pierre would help show non-resemblances. And an early-baby picture of Justin would go a long way. My impression is that newborns resemble Dad pretty strongly, which would definitely increase survival chances.

    Newborns don't resemble their adult parents at all, except in skin tone. The shape is all squishy, and the hair is barely there if at all.

      My non-representative sample consisted of mine own and some very close friends and relatives. Definitely “Dad’s eyes” or “Dad’s ears”-type stuff in each. Once the massive squishing of natural birth fades away for sure (wow is that a stunning phenomenon the first time you encounter it).

I don’t know if this has anything to do with the URL, but after clicking on this link I am blocked by Cloudflare from accessing Medium.com.

This part spun my head around:

> sabotaging all its credibility by claiming Margaret Trudeau’s family were members of the Illuminati.

> That is a non-starter for this author.

> That being said, the exaggerations and painful avoidance of the story’s ‘debunkers’ are far more suspicious.

> An article written by Alex Kasprak for leftist ‘fact-checking’ website Snopes.com

So we're doing blood libel now? The sins of the fathers and all that?

Good to see HN is concentrating on the big issues, rather than waving their arms like the rest of society when their side in the culture war gets its nose tweaked.

Hahaha this is my favorite, this pictures say it all but even if it’s too far-fetched for you it’s an interesting history of swinging and fanboyism.
