I actually read the Snopes site, and they don't actually do much in the way of ascertaining that Castro was indeed in Cuba at the time. They 'prove' that he gave a speech in Cuba, on April 1st, but nothing about the month of March. If anything, I suspect she had her tryst with Castro OUTSIDE Cuba (possibly Barbados or somewhere else in the Caribbean?). I don't doubt that they could have lied about Justin's birth date either. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Margaret_Sinclair%2C_Pat_Nixon%2C_Justin_Trudeau_1972-04-14_%28cropped%29.jpg
I think this is the earliest photo of him. His first public appearance was Jan 16, 1972, so he could have been born a few weeks earlier or later, no question. I think there are decent odds they knew she was pregnant, and that was why they had the hastily arranged 'secret marriage' in March 1971.
