Yet another image of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in blackface at the 2001 Arabian Nights party - this time in color - has emerged just in time for the Canadian Federal Election.
The photo, released on Sunday by Canadian Proud, shows the liberal icon in a turban and robe, with his tongue sticking out. The world leader has also covered his face with dark makeup.
The latest insensitive image of the Canadian Prime Minister, who has a checkered history of blackface, has been slammed as a national embarrassment and Trudeau branded a 'clown' by many online.
Trudeau's latest controversy comes as BIPOC leaders and feminist activists continue to pick apart his once-pristine image.
The self-proclaiming feminist who once took a knee during a Black Lives Matters protest after the death of George Floyd, is now being deemed a 'fake.'
Others were quick to point out that Trudeau was not a kid but was 29 and a teacher when he attended the Arabian Nights even in 2001.
Photos of the event first emerged in 2019 - prompting outrage and an apology from Trudeau - but this is the first time a color image from the party has been released.
It's the latest scandal to tarnish Trudeau's 'woke' brand.
Once the left's liberal darling, the prime minister's blackface scandal and his handling of the thousands of First Nations unmarked graves at former residential school sites has triggered a powerful backlash against the 49-year-old.

I can do that with Adobe software. Color me (no pun intended) skeptical.
You're right. I'd forgotten the actual point of the book!
Other than being called black there is nothing to consider racist in that book.
And as to "black," it's not being used in a negative way at all. It's a descriptor, period. To the white kid reading it in the 1950s (e.g., me), little black Sambo is a little boy my age from the other side of the world who knows how to out-smart tigers. What's not to like?
And in fact, that was the book's point. It was a celebration of the brotherhood (and wit) of all men under God, written by Scotswoman Helen Bannerman and published in 1899.
Unless, like white Communists, you consider blacks sub-human clients instead of brothers in Christ. To Leftists, "Black" lives splatter, and that's the only thing useful about them. Pro-Communist, homosexual, sorta-black writer Langston Hughes started the denunciation of Little Black Sambo in 1932, describing it as a "pickaninny story book" hurtful to black children.
Even though it wasn't about them. And how would he know? He sure didn't have children.
