Shocking Yearbook Photo Shows Justin Trudeau Wearing ‘Brownface’

Via ZeroHedge

What could very well be the defining political scandal of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s political career has just been broken wide open by Time Magazine.

Echoing a scandal that befell Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam earlier this year, a photo depicting Trudeau in ‘brownface’ (he was reportedly dressed as an Arab for an ‘Arabian Nights’ theme party) was published by Time Magazine Wednesday evening.

The photo was taken in 2001 while Trudeau was teaching at an elite private school.

The Liberal Party has already confirmed that Trudeau is in the photo, and the PM has already issued an apology – “I am really sorry” – to those who might be offended by the image, WSJ reports. Zita Astravas, spokeswoman for Trudeau’s Liberal Party, confirmed it to Time.

Before…

…And after?

This couldn’t have come at a worse time for Trudeau: His Liberal Party is neck-and-neck in the polls with their Conservative rivals ahead of what’s expected to be a close federal election next month.

According to Time, the photo appeared in the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Grey Academy. The ‘Arabian Nights’-themed gala was attended by students and faculty, Time reported. A Canadian businessman who was ‘part of the WPGA community’ came across the photo over the summer and decided that it should be made public.

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.

Earlier this month, TIME obtained a copy of the yearbook, The View, with the photograph of Trudeau in brownface from Vancouver businessman Michael Adamson, who was part of the West Point Grey Academy community. Adamson was not at the party, which was attended by school faculty, administrators and parents of students. He said that he first saw the photograph in July and felt it should be made public.

The photo was taken while Trudeau taught classes, including French, at the school, which he left after the Spring of 2001. West Point Grey Academy is currently among the most expensive private day schools in Vancouver, with tuition ranging from just under $22,000 to about $23,500.

Several critics spoke out to WSJ saying it’s ‘deeply saddening’ to see Trudeau in brownface/blackface. One of Trudeau’s opponents is a Sikh, and as such blasted Trudeau and claimed personal offense.

“Seeing the Prime Minister in brownface/blackface is deeply saddening,” said Mustafa Farooq, executive director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims in a written statement. It is seeking an apology. “The wearing of blackface/brownface is reprehensible, and hearkens back to a history of racism, slavery, and an Orientalist mythology that is unacceptable.”

Meanwhile, the leader of Canada’s left-wing New Democratic Party, Jagmeet Singh, said the photo was insulting. Mr. Singh is a Sikh and wears a turban.

Of course, already one Twitter user and Trudeau critic has complained about being ‘censored’ by Twitter for trying to share the photo, which violates the site’s terms of service.

Other Canadians mused about Trudeau’s re-election prospects with this additional scandal weighing on his campaign. Trudeau is still fighting allegations of corruption after the SNC-Lavalin ethics probe.

This could very well be the moment that Trudeau loses his place in the polls and never regains the lead ahead of next months’ vote.

There’s really nothing wrong with wearing a costume and black face. Eddie Murphy put on white face (as do Kabuki actors) and no one gives a shit. But it will be really, really sweet justice if fidel jr gets his ass bounced because of it.

A long history of Blackface by leading entertainers and party-goers in America along with every other ethnic impersonation. Mostly in good fun…stereotypes always have some overlap with the truth.

The difference, of course, is the Left does not like to live by the standards they attempt to impose on the rest of us.

Bernie Sanders no longer rails against mere millionaires as he is one with three houses and lots of private jet travel air miles.

Obama the Climate Warrior buys a sea-level house on an island…..

Biden…well too many examples to cite.

Lieawatha……richer than Bernie and even more of a hypocrite.

Mayor Backdoor Pete….plays the Jesus card often…but has the most un-Christian background and history imaginable.

Even the less public leftists….flip over any part of their lives and you will see them doing the opposite of their public values.

E.g. Mr. Buck the homosexual West Hollywood Democrat Donor…..preyed on black men, plying them with excessive doses of meth to watch them die…I guess he got off on it….not exactly a champion of the downtrodden.

Justin essentially royalty in Canada has led the most privileged of lives and yes is a scold of the worst most obnoxious sort…..I am confident this is but the tip of a very nasty iceberg with Mr. Trudeau…..and yet I was hectored by my left pals in the US over how wonderful “Justin” is…..the perfect man…….perfectly reflective of why Dems can never be allowed to exercise power in the USA on a national level again. Our RINO’s are no better….just marginally less obnoxious though Mittens, Justin Amash and Kellyanne’s husband are doing their best!

Crank up the outrage from the left and the right. If we could harness the rage from the hissy fit crowd we could have enough clean energy to run the country. I notice nobody says a word when Trump wears orange face, that must be offensive to somebody.

I don’t know about Steve C. calling EC a prick or how that relates to RiNS or my crazy comment. The #MeToo movement marks the turning point when the white man sellout on the Left was no longer safe. For the lefty non-whites, all whites are like that. Yin works by degrees from the outside in, unlike Yang. It was just a matter of time. That’s how decline works. The narrative ranks variance from most to least, but tribals are tribal opportunists too. The housing bubble was created by gradually lowering loan standards. The white middle class was gradually debouched. The bureaucracy was gradually grown bigger, more obtrusive, more subversive.

No one wants to stick out his neck, not herd animals that play the herd game of power. Shark bumps test for patronage authority response and target response, all social authority and danger. Then the kill. Then a new target, new shark bumps, …. Eventually, the common host that was glue to the coalition of the not white men is insuffient, the coalition fractures, is fracturing. The fat hosts are now fellow elitists, for the parasites, each other. The natural big-picture division is tribal, but the fundamental divide is me vs. not me. Listen to Mueller’s voice on the hot seat.

Look at the functionaries around Trump that are fair game for Antifa and law enforcement’s pre-dawn raids. The Left is hungry, and the non-Leftist white middle class is now too scrawny to support the Leftist horde. Armies must eat. The vermin eat and reproduce until they can’t. That’s the course of all plagues. That’s why it’s darkest before the dawn. Still, the night kills. Black as pitch does not prove the dawn is about to break. Like the Spanish Inquisition, things must get worse until that process destroys itself like a fire that burns all its fuel. White men are wedded to the system and saving it. There is no burn maximum for white America. They are inured Christians and post-Christian socialists.

Understood and agreed …. let him have both barrels from my perspective. Trudeau has done everything the globalist want and yet Time Magazine pulls this crusty little nugget out of their tar hole ~4 years of him being PM? As if Time (and others) didn’t know about this event before he was elected. Apparently, the real leaders of Canada can be quite fickle.

It’s fucken Hilarious!

It echoes of the Illan Omar Ambush just a while back..

This ranks right at the top of my ‘Who gives a shit?’ list. Typical of the news media to focus on this bullshit instead of all the real problems facing Canada and the world. Trudeau supports the US in most of their misbegotten wars and illegal sanctions all across the planet? So what? He wore blackface almost two decades ago! Trudeau stealing still more tax money from Canadians for the global warming hoax? Big deal. The evil bastard wore blackface! Trudeau subverted the legal system to help a Quebec firm get away with crimes? Never mind. Blackface!

RiNS

Maybe for you but in the world of the Progressive this is a career killer.
Just sayin’..
He will still probably win but this will sting moar than the stuff you listed.
And that’s a shame..

TampaRed

this shows his hypocrisy,which ordinary people can understand–
you say he’ll probably still win but is it close enough that he could possibly lose because of it?
when faced w/a socially unacceptable choice,do canucks lie to pollsters as americans do ?

RiNS

It does..

And they do.. but the fact that this country is infested from end to end with Libtards of all sorts which outweighs any deception on the phone with pollsters.. LIberals are masters of squaring The delusion so that the means meet the end..

This will cost him a Majority but he still has the legs to make it first past the gate.

A sad indictment on the state of the narrative in Canada.

RiNS

It just gets better…

So, its a white guy apologizing profusely to a bunch of other (mostly) white people for painting his face brown as part of costume? Did I miss anything?
