Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized Thursday after three instances of him in blackface resurfaced in less than 24 hours, but left open the possibility that more footage could come to light.
“I am wary of being definitive about this, because the recent pictures that came out, I had not remembered,” Trudeau said, according to CNBC.
Trudeau’s comments come after a video resurfaced on Thursday that showed Trudeau in dark makeup, raising his hands in the air and making faces while wearing a white T-shirt and jeans ripped at the knees.

When asked if there were other similar instances during his apology, Trudeau told reporters he also wore dark makeup at a high school talent show while performing the Harry Belafonte song “Day-O.”
“I shouldn’t have done it, I should have known better, but I didn’t," Trudeau said Wednesday night, referring to the 2001 photo. "And I’m really sorry."

I can definitively state I’ve never been in Blackface
How about the rest of you FReepers?
Not only that - I’ve never once seen anyone, live, in blackface. I have seen pictures like of Al Jolson and Trudeau. But NEVER in person.
Am I strange? Is this a common thing?
I’ve never been in blackface, brownface, or any other kind of non-northern European ethnic face. Dear Justin Trudeau and all white people, stick to dressing up as white characters and caricatures unless you want a PC grenade to blow up in your face one fine day.

What happened during the vetting process, from both sides of the aisle.
I can forgive the Conservatives, cause the Fake News media is very good at narrative creation (attack ad-Jean Chretiens face)
There are no coincidences
Is this related to arrest of high level RCMP cyber guy?
Do the polls really stink?
Why are the Globalist’s standing around while their Fredo gets wacked?
lol
like you said none of ever had the thought cross our mind to use it to imitate a black caricature.
I They are just trying to sidestep the real issues. I wouldn't be surprised if they let those pics out by themselves. The Media up here talks about nothing else, all day.
But we conservatives are racist.
I want to make one of those lol.
I just have gotten the link incorrect.
Appears that Justin Trudeau is the most pandering panderer that ever pandered.
socialist self-projection at its best
Yep.
Maybe that also at another time. But this time, the whole family wore fancy India’s Indiana costumes as, IIRC, they deplaned there.
