Why has he blackened his face on multiple occasions? What events in Canada have white people blackening their face.
I guess it is over for the love child of the liberal, woke and PC community.

The leader of the New Democratic Party responds to the photo. What a total plonker! These people are a veritable self parody. Modern life gets more and more like living in the columns of 'Peter Simple'. The 'woke' deserve this stupid world of their own creation.......... ..................But no one else does! So when a prick like this stands up we are duty bound to knock the little sod down.............. ................Very firmly indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trudeau has been a cheerleader of Wokeness over the years so it's a bit ironic if it bites him on the arse. Oh I agree with that and hate the little wanker, but it is trivial beyond belief, and I can't wish disgrace on him for it, if I dispute that there is anything at all wrong with it, far less than it being any teeny-weeny form of scandal. I am an equal opportunities abuser and defender. At least here we stand shoulder to shoulder on the issue of wokeness, Carlton, even though we may have different assessments of Trudeau as a politician. I might add I have also browned up in my day for productions of Aladdin, though I would have thought if he was playing the Genie I would have thought he would have greened up? Of course Aladdin is second only to Scottish play in bringing ultimate disaster upon anyone who dares attempt it.

This is all very odd. Under what circumstances would anyone wear blackface? Other than the stage? I can't imagine any circumstances in which I would have done so. Fancy dress party Theme night at the pub Just having fun.......................... .........................Or is that now 'off limits'?

I was at a fair recently and I saw a guy applying black face-paint, and I thought that looked a bit dodgy. But then I noticed he was dressed completely in black, his hands were face-painted black and he was wearing a black skull-cap. He was one of those "living statues", preparing for his shift, so I guess that was OK. How on earth have we even got to the point of it being a valid question? What sort of insane world do some of you live in where this is not a matter for ribald laughter?

It does cause offence and I can't see any reason why I would deliberately set out to offend. Trying to remember what the climate was like 20 years ago. That does matter. I recall when the B&W Minstrels were viewed as not acceptable but quite how much that had percolate down to end of term parties I'm not sure.

I am suggesting that it is overgrown bollocks to consider it is much of a problem in Canada and that going to a private party blacked up has anything at all to do with it, and that 10M more important things in the firmament than all this shrill nonsense which the sane part of society is heartily sick of.

You don't think people face racial prejudice? But you live in an area which is almost entirely white. It's not in the least like the contemporary urban environment

Trudeau has been a cheerleader of Wokeness over the years so it's ironic if it bites him on the arse with these brownface photos surfacing. Yup normally I would be willing to give people a pass on things they did a long time ago when they were younger and more naive. However Trudeau has been attacking the Tory leader Andrew Scheer for his past views on gay marriage (despite the fact that Canadian public opinion has also shifted massively) and so him wearing brownface is totally fair game especially to point out his utter hypocrisy. This scandal will be more damaging to Trudeau than it would be to most politicians seen as he's built his entire brand on 'woke, political correctness' and gives the NDP a golden opportunity to save their floundering campaign.

Gay marriage and abortion are relevant, given there is a considerable part of the base of the Conservative Party who wants to repeal those laws.

blackface BlackFace BLACKFACE BLACKFACE !! BLACKFACE!! Video of third incident appears: www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/19/justin-trudeau-wearing-blackface-details-emerge-third-incidentStop laughing at the back! This is a serious matter, apparently. The fact that one incident was at school, and one was an Aladdin fancy dress doesn't make this any less important. Blackface is the new drugs. Drugs are cool now, so we needed a new drug, and blackface is it; blackface is the thing that youngsters did decades ago that now wrecks their careers. Lol Don't blame us, we opposed the new heresy while you were all building petards. Edit: Interestingly, the Guardian have deleted the Tweet of the video from their report, so here it is again:

This is a somewhat minor issue, but it is becoming a bit of a pattern and it makes you wonder how many more exist. I also want to say, I'm 26 and I don't remember blackface being "acceptable" in 2001. As eight year olds we would've known it was wrong. So that defence I've read and heard is bizarre.

This is only news to people who weren't already sure that Trudeau was a hypocrite. After PR and the corruption scandal, there can't be many of those left, can there?
