And it's not just Dave Rubin hearing about this story in America:



So it looks like Canada's Mr. Dressup is embarrassing us internationally again.

Looks like his hands are pumped up and ready to go as well.

So it looks like Canada's Mr. Dressup is embarrassing us internationally again.

He also admitted to wearing black makeup in high school to perform a version of African-American singer Harry Belafonte's song 'Banana Boat Song (Day-O)' during a talent show.

'These are the situations I regret deeply,' he said.

Trudeau said it was a racist act but he didn't realize it at the time and that he knows better now.

'I shouldn't have done that. I should have known better, but I didn't, and I'm really sorry. It was a dumb thing to do

He acknowledged that he had 'always been more enthusiastic about costumes than is sometimes appropriate'.

I am so glad this election will be about the things that matter most to Canadians. Like the Environment, and the Economy.

On the one hand, I'm happy this is happening to the Sanctimonious, arrogant ass. But on the other hand, I don't believe people should be judged today on who we may have been 20 years ago.

We shouldn't focus on the fact he was an idiot 20 years ago; we need to focus on the fact that he's still an idiot now.

I sometimes fail to see the "racism" when people dress up with black-face, or a Native head-dress, or a large sombrero or kilt. If you do it to mock... an example would be a "a lazy Mexican" or a "black pimp" disguise"... then don't.


I've worn the full Highland dress before... is that racism too?

It is today, but wasn't 20 years ago. Well, it was 20 years ago too, but it was also wasn't taken as seriously.

Only if you are Welsh.

Global news claims it has video of another instance of Trudeau in blackface.

No big deal, I was dressed in a similar outfit at a works theme Christmas party, as was everyone else.

The difference being, none of us strutted around the country preaching acceptance and diversity.

[xerxes]

Man. Whoever is in charge of the oppo research for the party digging these up is earning themselves a massive raise this week.

[llama66]

I'm convinced that Trudeau could murder a baby on television while dressed in a Nazi outfit and people would still vote him in.

[uwish]

just imagine if that was a conservative candidate or Shear? The left is eating itself up on this one....

pot calling the kettle.....i won't say it.....

Doubtless the lefties who were yelling and screaming about how racist blackface is, when
whats-his-face Governor in Virginia did his, 15 years earlier than Justine,
would have violently disagreed with you yesterday, would fully agree with you today.

And then violently disagree with you tomorrow.


It's the hypocrisy, it's the two faced nonsense, it's the running around like Chicken Little
screaming about how everything is racism, and yet they never the racism they themselves propagate.....

It's just hilarious to watch now. Break out the popcorn, get the asteroid music out.. we deserve it now.

[llama66]

It will be very interesting if this has any real effect on Trudeau.
