Justin Trudeau, Canadas prime minister, wore brownface makeup to a party at the private school where he was teaching in the spring of 2001. TIME has obtained a photograph of the incident.
The photograph has not been previously reported. The picture was taken at an Arabian Nights-themed gala. It shows Trudeau, then the 29-year-old son of the late former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, wearing a turban and robes with his face, neck and hands completely darkened. The photograph appears in the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Grey Academy, a private day school where Trudeau was a teacher.

Oh, daddy!
Trudeau is cancelled!
Even then the description "brown face" is a sort of gambit. He looks in black face to me. The Canadian television hardly knows which way to turn. Some defending, some gloating, because that is their thing. Which is to jump on somebody. Make somebody grovel My own opinion as a non Trudeau supporter, is that it is simply dirty pool.
Politics of this nature stinks!
I should mention that Canada goes to the polls in 33 days. This to either give Prime Minister Trudeau and his Liberal Party a mandate or elect the Progressive Conservatives. Polls say it is a neck and neck race at this point.
This PC CRAP is just getting to be ridiculous people are just to serious today, ALL IN THE FAMILY one of the funniest shows on TV would never have been enjoyed by folks today, NO ONE has a sense of humor anymore we used to be able to make fun of each other such a shame!!!
What the hell is a progressive conservative???
Good ones!
Blatant cultural appropriation
Brown face is bad enough. This princess went full brown handed!
No, this story will be gone by the day after tomorrow. He’s one of their kind, so they’ll cover for him.
And, just for the record, I can’t stand this imbecile, but I 100% don’t care that he did this. This is not what makes him a bad leader. Pretty gosh darn sure he’s not a racist in any way.
That’s what so sad about this stuff, these Jacobin psychos want to take every bit of fun and silliness out of life. They are pretty much just like the Taliban. Only they’re atheists on top of everything else.
The French Revolution, we’re living in it. How long before they bring back the guillotine?
NO ONE has a sense of humor anymore we used to be able to make fun of each other such a shame!!!
Yes, the amount of naysayers and nitpickers seem to overwhelm a number of us. They must be unhappy persons in their misery- unless they are humiliating some poor soul.
At one time the compact in Canada was the Liberal/Conservative coalition. In 1942 younger people began to resent the old hard line establishment. They decided to rename to Conservatives as the "Progressives". They wanted change without destroying Conservatism.
He might have. It’s a black and white photo from 2003? Black would show up as blue.
While I despise Trudeau with a passion barely exceeded by that of mine against Hillary, 0bama, Merkel, Beto and Buttgigger, I’m not going think one tiny bit less of him for this silly stuff.
Trudeau ethnic costume photos:
Whispers to his aide:
“So how much longer does this pandering stuff take? This fabric is making me itch like crazy. I’m gonna wear longjohns underneath next time.”
Won’t matter. He’s on the correct side.
Don’t care.
Saw the pic. He was doing something from ‘Arabian Nights’.
Exactly how is this ‘blackface’?
