Justin Trudeau: Canada PM 'in 2001 brownface yearbook photo'



Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wore "brownface" at a private school gala nearly two decades ago, a photo obtained by Time Magazine suggests.

Zita Astravas, spokeswoman for Mr Trudeau's Liberal Party, confirmed in Time's report he was in the image.

The 2001 yearbook picture apparently shows Mr Trudeau with skin-darkening make-up on his face and hands at the West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver.

The prime minister is battling for re-election on 21 October.

To me, this is no big deal. I'm not for him surely, but it isn't even black face, it's brown face which I've barely ever heard of.

It'll be interesting to see what the PC crowd say about this.

Apparently, there is nothing at all wrong with this if the person doing it happens to be a liberal.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

It’s ridiculous to make silly pranks like this career wreckers, but the left needs to be forced to live by their own standards.

The only standard that liberals have is the 'double' standard.

If this had been Steven Harper, the media would be running this story 24/7.

One of the prior incidences is when he was in high school singing "Day-O" in black face at an HS event. So, very young. The other occasion was pre-2000 as well apparently.

Much as I'd like to pile on, the "woke" culture is painfully stupid.

Typical college freshmen, age 18-19, have themarurity of 13-15 year olds from just a few years ago.

Prof. Jnathan Haidt, "The Coddling of the American Mind."

Were you stupid in highschool?

That is the entire political Left now.
