That one’s mostly bad because, tragically, it was a lie.

Those aren’t gallows, they’re ice.

So Trudeau covering up blackface isn’t good enough for you, you want Freeland, who tried covering up that her grandfather was a Nazi and is a tireless advocate for Ukrainian Nazis today? Yikes.

They didn’t even have candidates lined up in every riding when the writ was dropped, their unpreparedness is about more than just being more than a decade late on this.

In 2008, 25% of Clinton supporters went on to not vote for their party’s black nominee in the general election and instead vote for the Republican candidate who used racial slurs on the record in front of members of the press.

I can understand the Conservatives not using this until they found a YouTube-radicalized nephew who knows how to work the internet (we know it’s not actually the PPC because Bernier’s response was so ill-prepared that he wasn’t even able to b bring himself to pretend that he thinks blackface is racist), but this

You think blackface “looks classy”.

You’ve got more power than me and you really don’t get that.

They have a majority and votes are almost exclusively done along party lines (a few MPs were booted from the party earlier this year just for not towing the party line on another issue). They could have passed any reform they wanted. The generally accepted most likely scenario is that since it happened after the data

Centrists saw him that way, and some on the left voted for Liberal candidates in 2015 because one of his primary campaign promises was electoral reform that would make it so that compromises like that would never need to be made again. Within months, that reform was cancelled.

The only people in Canada who think Trudeau is “the Left” are the far right.

He’s been doing a very shitty job. He never would have gotten elected, even as a backbencher MP, if not for his name. But hey, it’s not like he’s even the first Liberal prime minister this century whose place in politics was guaranteed by being the son of someone who was someone last century.

It’s just a different one from from the same event as the first one, but there’s already another picture that’s been uncovered not mentioned here. And it’s been available online since before he was even a backbencher with bad facial hair.

“Canadian liberal here, I understand why blackface is racist and the history behind it, but”

Not all of them! For example, spending $10 a day on lunch alone is not just something I “simply don’t do”, it’s something that I cannot afford.

The Greens shot themselves in the foot twice before the writ was even dropped, they’ll be lucky to keep their one seat.

The Liberals siphoned off NDP voters last time with the promise of electoral reform. They’ll all go back since that didn’t happen, plus they’ll get the non-zero (if still low) number of Canadians who aren’t racist. The PPC will siphon off the non-zero number of Conservative voters who are openly and explicitly racist.

Yeah, that’s the part that gets me. He’s held office for more than a decade, became leader of the party more than two years before the last election, and it took until now for someone to remembered this? Or the other time he mentioned when questioned during his apology? Or, as we’ve learned this morning, the other

It’s blackface, but you’re doing it to depict a brown person. This is... not hard. But hey, he did do blackface at least two times that we know of. Just a matter of seeing if either ends up being seen as worse than the other!

It’s also viewed as a disaster by those on the left and brought up when Trudeau does something else racist.
