That's a deflection from the issue. Trudeau's actions are the ones that are of concern. If that photo surfaced in relation to any candidate of any party - they would be forced to resign immediately. Trudeau keeps saying, every time he's caught, that he takes responsibility, but it means nothing, since he never suffers any actual consequences.

Much too early to say that your statement is true. Right now the polls say he will win at a minimum of a minority government. If his party does not win at least an actual minority government, then he will definitely have suffered actual consequences!

Get it right! He was Aladdin so the politically correct term according to the MSM is brownface
The last pretty much nails it down to the floor.Trudeau can do WHAT he likes no matter how cringeworthy it is and then give some crocodile tears and say "I am so sorry" and it will be washed away....just like that scene from Brother Where Art Thou..."the preacher baptised and saved me and washed away all of my sins....come on in fellers the water is fine".
If the Canadian Media ignore this or pay it no mind it just goes to prove just how much they are kissing Trudeau's ass for the bailout money they will get and at the same time shows that they are sellouts sucking his cock and letting everything go by but for the allegations of say Trudeau being a baby fucker.
In no INSTANCE ever before in Canadian politics has something like this arisen.Yeah the Lieberals posted the shit about Sheer and his views on same sex marriage from 14+ years ago as a nasty smear and at the same time a sitting Cabinet Member of Trudeau's Government at the time as an MP also voted NO on that vote.
This is what Trudeau is all about.He is a wolf in sheeps clothing.The SHIT fits him pretty well.....LET HIM WEAR IT.....I have no doubt Gerald Butts is working overtime to try and fix this and at the same time using langauge towards the media to drop the issue....cause if they dont they wont get to feed at the trough as promised by Trudeau.
Wow I wonder if Rolling Stone or GQ wants to touch the "Prince of Canada" after this revelation.....about how is a racist POS who speaks with 2 tongues and 2 faces.

Exactly, what is the big deal? Lots of people dressed in blackface or brownface back then. Trudeau was working for a private school at the time. The fact that the school admin did not think it was inappropriate, or he would have been fired, shows how common it was back then.
JD
Wow. Not just once...not just twice, but three times now. Anyone noticing a pattern here?

How many more of these videos or pictures are out there? For some reason Ive been able to go my entire life without ever contemplating using blackface but good old diversity Justin has done it at least three times.
Lets also examine his budgetary record, what he promised in the last election and what he actually delivered:

Scheer may not want to have the spectre of Doug Ford walking with him along the campaign trail but the ghost of Kathleen Wynne and her massive budgetary deficits should be stalking Justin Trudeau every step of the way.

I am honestly trying to look at this from a completely objective non-partisan position.
I don't know how anyone can let this kind of thing slide at this point. it's bad enough he goes to India and dresses and dances around like a fool. At that time I had several Indo-Canadian friends tell me it was rude and embarrassing. How would Canadians react if the PM of India came here and dressed up like a Mountie and rode around on a moose?
But this is completely inexcusable. With the history of racism against people of colour in this country (yes in Canada as well as the US) blackface is completely inexcusable.
As is pointed out above, once in high school can be excused. I did some pretty dumb things (although none racist) when i was 16 or 17. But then to do it as a teacher is inexcusable and now a 3rd time.
When asked directly about this last night, he admitted to the first 2 incidents and made it pretty clear that these were the only 2.
And once again when caught with his hand in the cookie jar he lies, then when his lies are revealed he comes up with some ridiculous excuse about not recalling it or someone else "experiencing it differently."
Political affiliation or policies aside how can anyone vote for this guy?
I know that at this point everyone jumps in with their accusations or opinions on Scheer but this is not about Scheer or any of the other leaders. This is about Trudeau and another skeleton in his closet that Canadian's cannot ignore.

They did in the 30s-50s. Not so much since the 60s when the civil rights movement really took hold. And rarely in the new millenium. And those that did have been scorched for it.
So why should Justin be immune from the same criticism that many other politicians and celebrities have been subjected to for things that happened 20 years ago?
Exactly! That's why we have over the past several years removed statues of historical figures from our parks and public areas, when their past transgressions came to light.
To use the excuse that everyone was doing it at the time doesn't make it right. Maybe at the time no one called him or others out for this type of thing but that doesn't mean he can't be now.
Once is a stupid mistake, twice is a REALLY stupid mistake but 3 times is a pattern and speaks to the true character of the individual.
where's your pic of being in Blackface? lol
or
Brownface? lol
you must have one, since it was so common lol
lol, so what about the other 2 times, lol, it's now being reported that he did it before
seen him admit on the plane about doing it, Blackface that time, in high school, supposedly there is yet another one too
hmmm, a pattern, your Honour!!!
what's your reasoning for it then, back then, haha
18yrs ago, 25yrs ago, way back then, you know, during Canada's segregation period, lol
how many slaves did you own BACK THEN, 18 yrs ago, lol
Justin is also the first ever sitting leader of a country to be caught in blackface and the first ever person to be caught 3 different times.
Its a bit different than a celebrity or lower level politician. He is Canada's elected representative to the world. How does it affect Canada's future dealings with African nations or India? Or any country with this reality now out in public. You know that their leaders now might catch a lot of local flak if they deal with him now like nothing has happened and may want to avoid the agony.
Canada could become a laughing stock of the world if he was reelected with multiple blackface incidents on his resume. (not that he hasn't been taking us in that direction already)

I could show you but then you would know who I was and I would have to shoot you
But I have done things that society would likely put much higher on the reprehensible scale. For example, I'm really ashamed to admit it, but I have actually paid women to have sex with me. I know absolutely horrible - something no one else on this site has ever done I'm sure ;-(
JD
But you don't go around with a holier than thou attitude chastising others for their transgressions either.
Therein lies the problem with JT and the Liberals in all of this.
You don't get to run around the country and the world telling everyone how tolerant and wonderful you are, when you know you are not or at least your past is not.
Right now all I can hear are all the panes in his glass house shattering around him.
Even the liberal media in other countries is being critical of him and wondering how he can survive this misstep.
Here's my problem: yes, it's stupid, insensitive, and offensive. But the calls for his resignation over this are laughable now considering SNC, something he did only last year when he's supposedly grown so much as a person, wasn't a resignable offence. Meanwhile, the Convservatives' outrage is definitely disingenuous, given we're supposed to ignore Scheer's actual callous intent to minorities in his speech of years ago vs. mere wilful ignorance and insensitivity from Trudeau.
Bottom line, they're all two-faced assholes.
