@Synyster Yep, just like American leftists. He had no answer, so he pulled out the go-to liberal response: 'racist'. They've worn the word out here, it's practically meaningless.
While Canada doesn’t have quite the same history with minstrel shows and connotations of such, etc - Trudeau is young and cosmopolitan enough to have known better.
When asked whether there were any other embarrassing photos or moments that he wanted to own up to, he responded: “The fact of the matter is that I’ve always—and you’ll know this—been more enthusiastic about costumes than is sometimes appropriate.”
Well, we'll know in about a month's time, when the Canadian elections are held. If Justin is still PM, it will be because his excuse worked. There once was a libby named Justin, Whose blackface was lately discussed in The cold Great White North, Which from Justin called forth Excuses that NO one should trust in. 🙄
So what, and bfd. Peter Sellers also painted his face to play a bumbling Indian in The Party. People didn't think he was racist for doing a comedic bit. Justin isn't a racist either.
