Answer 1

There is no evidence of this claim. As per Snopes (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trudeau-sex-scandal-school/), "As the website Canadaland reported, the evidence-free rumors of Trudeau's alleged sexual relations with either a student or a student's mother were accompanied by additional evidence-free rumors that the Liberal Party prime minister had attempted to cover up the story."

This claim is false which is also reported by Logically (https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/7734988b) and Canada's National Observer (https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/10/10/news/fake-justin-trudeau-sex-scandal-went-viral-canadas-election-integrity-law-cant-stop).

The claim went viral days ahead of of Canada's federal elections. However, there has been no evidence of it and is likely misinformation.
