Because the east hates the west so much that they vote in a guy who will do anything to destroy western Canada, his end goal is to make sure every job in the west is ran by an easterner and all the money is funnelled into Quebec, he is not a Canadian he is a Quebec fascist
It's amazing how many excuses are pulled out liberal asses when it's a Leftist male who does this shit.
I'm Canadian and they're never been a moment where I've supported Trudeau.
Liberals love racists.

It's something that happened years ago, during a different era and society. What a shock that he was once young, ignorant and stupid... We all have been young, ignorant and stupid in the past and we all have done or said something at one point in our lives that would have been highly offensive to someone else at one time or another.
And most of us learn from our stupid mistakes... But should those mistakes from 15, 20 or 30 odd years ago be forever hung over our heads for the rest of our lives as if we are still that person and unable to change and be better?
If I go digging through your social media, or notes or yearbooks from back when you were a kid in the 90s or college student in the early 2000s and find something you said, wrote or did that is considered highly offensive today, should I spread it all over the internet to publicly shame you to the point where people think you should lose your job and essentially end up with a dismal future where nobody wants to associate with you anymore?
I'm sure you did something even worse than some black face makeup.
All because you did something stupid 15 or 20 years ago?
Honestly all this crap going on these days where people are digging up old shit from decades ago or when someone was young and stupid just for a big "Gotcha" reveal is getting old and annoying.
Regardless, what was the alternative?
The Conservative leader just a few years back was openly against same sex marriage and many other things currently legal in Canada. So in the same mentality you're using above against the PM also applies to him.
Or do we have a double standard going on?
Prince Harry dressed as a Nazi that one time... Is that all who he is? Should he be cast out of society too because he did something insensitive and stupid one time?
How many things has Trump done over the years that he not only admits, but never apologised for and thinks he can do no wrong? Trudeau acknowledged what he did and apologised for it... Trump does worse, doesn't apologise for it and he seems to get a pass in the US.
Trudeau dresses up and paints his face during a costume event during a time when it was still OK for kids to go trick or treating as stereo type "Indians" and suddenly were supposed to grab pitch forks and torches?
Or how about all the offensive and wrong things your parents did in the 60s and 70s that would be accepted today? Should your parents have lost their jobs and be ostracised from their communities over things they did 40 or 50 years ago?
It was a stupid thing to do, he learned from it. People need to get a grip and move on.
To be fair I don't think he is racist, he is a hypocrite, he is a sexual predator (been caught sexually harassing women), he is corrupt (provably), he is a terrible politician but I don't think him dressing in black face is racist (by that metric we would have to say Dave Chappelle is racist for using white face). I mean he could be, he is a piece of shit so I wouldn't put it pass him, but I don't think that is conclusive evidence for it. As for why the hell Canadians stood by him, I have no idea he was clearly the worse candidate they could possibly have and is not going to rest until he runs Canada into the ground.
It's not that simple. The Liberal Party didn't really gain anything out of the election. They "won" the election in that they still have more seats in Parliament but they lost their majority and the popular vote. So now Trudeau actually has less power, and some of the Eastern Provinces will likely start feeling more sympathetic towards some of the Western Provinces who voted primarily Conservative.
Scheer however also made a critical mistake for Ontario where he sided with Doug Ford (the Premier of Ontario) in a pretty personal manner even though Ford is unpopular in Ontario. I said earlier that if Trudeau didn't lose this election, he'll be more likely to lose the next one. And now that he leads a minority government, he's going to have a harder time implementing policies. There was also a surge in Bloc Quebecois support in Quebec which is also a factor.
Basically, this is a very politically divided and complex issue that will lead to a messy 4 years.
I think it's the maple-flavored Tide Pods. The same mental disease that afflicts much of southeastern Canada also infects Detroit. And I lived for six months too close to Detroit for comfort. The biggest symptom of that disease is irrationality. The locals become impenetrable to inconvenient facts. And if you choose the truth over their brand of crazy, ruining your life becomes an imperative.
I don't like Trudeau nor his policies, but his blackface has nothing to do with it and I couldn't care less about. His actions and policies are the real issue from what I can see as an Outsider.
That being said - the blackface-thing is exactly what his target-audience of potential voters should be upset about.
Western Canadians voting overwhelmingly conservative. Not a single seat in Alberta or Saskatchewan went to the Liberal Party. People in the typical places (e. g., Urban Ontario and Quebec) went Liberal. "It's alright when we do it" is the motto. That and more Canadians voted for Sheer than Trudeau (had Trudeau followed through with his 2015 campaign promise, electoral reform would have happened and Sheer would be Prime Minister).
I am not making excuses for liberals. I am not even Canadian. And I dont really give a damn about politics BUT - I do not understand the point of pulling up old news and old mistakes politicians have made.
Okay so he did blackface, and it is far from okay, and very racist, but he SHOULD have been punished for it back then. Whether he knew better or he didn't, I like to give benefit of doubt and say he might not have known better back then. Either way - WHY DO PEOPLE STILL CARE? It was so long ago. He sure as hell knows better than to do that shit now.
Its like asking a girl or guy how many people they've banged - why would you still be hung up about past mistakes? We all f*ck up. Politicians are no better than us.
This is FAR from the same thing as Trump who says his controversial dumb shit TODAY. If Trump is called on his bullshit now, its because he says a lot of bullshit now - and refuses to get his shit together when people call him out on it.
I didn't vote for Trudeau but I still believe he is a good prime minister, and he is definitely not racist. Yes, he dressed up in black face a few times, so what? The first time was for an arabian nights themed party, so of course he dressed up like an middle eastern man and wore blackface. Seems more like a meme than a controversy to me, it's not like he voted against desegregation (that's a swing at Joe Biden btw).
The moral of the story? Themed parties are fine unless they celebrate people of color.
In what way is he racist. I don't like him but let's be clear the intent was not to denigrate a whole group of people or a culture. Imitating a character is not racist. Moreover, what has he DONE that shows his contempt for a race. I mean, this was a long time ago in a different time. It's not like anyone went up to him and said, "oh Justin that's really offensive you shouldn't do that" clearly because he's happily taking photos on Arabian Nights. And these photos weren't exactly sealed in a time capsule. Only now in a time of over sensitive scolds and vengeful people. None of this makes him a racist. He doesn't act like a racist, he doesn't behave like a racist, nothing about the man we know today indicates he hates any group. That's what we criticize the left for. Cancel culture and that. It's time to stop.
I'm Canadian, & I don't support that dumbass. I was absolutely disappointed when he got re-elected as Canadian prime minister again. ... and I voted against him. After all of the bullshit he has done to Canada & fucked many Canadians over,... it baffles me to no end as to how the living hell that fucking dumbass got elected.
Canadians got the PM they deserve... a joker.
He fits in the clown world perfectly.
Because its the true nature of the liberal party. They're not liberal in policy they are racist and call everyone that isn't them nazis if they disagree. Infact the liberal party has put through some of the same policies as the nazis did. Not the worst ones but soon they will be banning handguns. The reason they call so many people racist is because they are and apply their line of thinking to everyone.
"Blackface" initially referred to a propensity in Hollywood to assign roles of black people to white people, costing black actors and actresses valuable jobs. The problem isn't (or wasn't) that white people were wearing makeup that made them look like a different race. It was about blacks (and native americans) being overlooked for paid roles ABOUT them.
Dressing up as a character of a different race for something stupid like a Halloween party is benign, and happens at the expense of no one.
what he did was idiotic but hey its not just a liberal thing... in the uk we had a conservative prime minister re elected even after he admitted fucking a dead pigs head in private boarding school along with his mates who include boris johnson. any way to even it up here's some white face lol
Why would painting your face black be racist? What's racist is not allowing someone to paint their face a certain color just because there are people with that skin tone. If anything blackfacing should be considered a way of supporting black people since you're hiding your real skin tone in favor of black people's skin tone.
The hyper progressives who cared the most already vote NDP.
The biggest threat to the liberals talks about things like moderating (down) the level of immigration. There just wasn’t anyone really positioned to take advantage.
That said Trudeau was looking easily lined up for a majority a couple years ago. The bigger hit with the SNC scandal.
That's because everyone is racist to a certain degree, the left just likes to pretend they are not, the left are like "the nice guy" that's actually a narcissist and an abuser
But now, since they have no other option but Trudeau to maintain the dominance of the progressive vision of society, the left has had to take the mask of sanity off and expose themselves as being no better than the rest of all of mankind
I'm not Canadian but Trudeau already apologized for this and stated that he didn't consider it racist at the time and that he got better, and honestly, his actions speak louder than words when it comes to his views on race and racism. Sorry, but I'm getting tired of people feeling like it's okay to drag people for past mistakes and not accepting the fact that majority of people can change.
finally someone brings this up. Give it a year or two, and it won't even be legal in Canada to oppose him. Canadians keep happily giving up their freedoms to the liberal mob.
I hate Trudeau's policies, but I love that he did blackface.
