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."

He makes an excellent Star Wars Rebel.
I have no desire to see “Brokeback Mountain” but it looks like he played a supporting role in that, up top.

Justin prays to Buddha that no one will find pics of him in blackface singing Day-O dressed like Harry Belafonte.

There is a big difference between someone who wore blackface in the 60’s compared to someone wearing it in 2001.

It matters because the Number One Scold has been caught doing what he would automatically criticize in any other political figures. He can’t turn around and say, “well now that you have evidence of me doing this, it doesn’t matter any more.”
Sorry, hoist on thine own petard, mon ami.
Resign now and go back to teaching. You obviously enjoyed it.

There is sanity in this world and it’s the responsibility of the sane to keep the insane marginalized.

The lefties started the PC crap and it’s a joy to see one of the leading PC policeman hoisted on his own petard
