The smart money would bet Justin Trudeau will ride again and might even win. Unless, that is, those secrets he described as career-limiting weren’t about brownface photos – and have yet to be spilled, writes Don Martin.

Roughly ten years ago, I had lunch with then-backbench MP Justin Trudeau to pitch him on a warts-and-all biography.

He listened politely before shrugging off the idea, saying he'd never be prime minister. He had too many secrets. If so, it says a lot that an MP eyeing the nation’s top office was hoping his images as a racist would stay buried in time. It's now up to voters to decide if a global laughingstock just 30 days from a referendum on his performance is worth re-electing.There are many, including Conservatives, who believe this is no big deal, a hazy Halloween costume from another era that is irrelevant to the current campaign. And there are those, including Liberals, who believe this exposes a preachy, virtue-signaling, new-way politician as a hypocritical, old-school fraud.

gawd, and the skeletons in the average conservative pundit's past?

I find it interesting that this stuff from 20 years ago is being rehashed over & over but NOTHING has ever been discussed by cdnmedia (save G&M article 2013) about Doug Ford's seedy past ( criminal in nature) before during or after his undeserved promotion to Premier.

Trust Fund Justin 29 wearing blackface and groping a gal at an Arabian Night party. Andrew 29 was named Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons & Chairman of Committees. One became a cult leader, one has worked his way up his whole life.

Remember. Justin Trudeau has said he is sorry! But also remember who he is. He is not sorry for the act, he is sorry he got caught

Don Martin🤢🤢🤢🤢

spoiled Priviledged Brat is what we all see!!

Don Martin and other media professionals should not use this type of linguistics to describe situations. It creates a bias.

Don Martin: The knight in shining armour falls hard from his high horse why is the media so thrill to see it happen... Because a boring election is now totally a score and bonus, they get to report all the poo they want to and throw it at Justine too...

I hope the banana he likes to wear in his pants wasn,t crushed in the fall. If your ever invited to the trudeau,s i suggest take a pass on the banana bread

Oh come on....this is the best you got on Trudeau !? LAME!

I am 43 years old and I have never seen anyone do blackface. This guy is such a hypocrite.

Perhaps not just the horse was high. LoL.

Awww and my favourite is the one with the banana t-shirt 🙄

Enough

The timing of the “discovering” of these pics is so blatantly political. It makes me think the other parties have no legitimate platform. I’m tired of this election campaign already and it’s barely started!

I wonder, why these pictures are black and white ? Are they from fifties or forties ? Or coloured camera film came into being in ? I wonder I wonder .........

Think ::: Strawman !!!

It's really sick seeing these racist photos all the time. What a disgrace we have for a PM. TrudeauBlackface TrudeauIsARacist

Thank God for Don Martin ! Being perfect like Don is hard !

Don’t we feel tired of all that fake political correctness? Why don’t we bring back honesty and be truthful to our own minds and souls? Political correctness only hides problems and hinders development and progress.

ctvqp How far will be the fall for Scheer if he loses now?

PM Mulroney sings. It’s available for all to see. I will give $1000 for the TrudeauBlackface Day-O video. Others will pay more so I might be out bid.

your editors seem to be bipolar.

That's Catherine McKenna, always new she was a closet racist

And gets up back again to continue the reign.

Is that Climate Barbie with Blackface

People used to say that imitation was the most sincerest form of flattery.

In his own mind he was the knight in shining armour lol 😆 JustinTrudeau

Say your piece long as you don't speak as if you have the right to speak for Canadian Black People. Ain't no one speak for us just like no one speaks for you. Have some respect

Don Martin.. CPC shill. cdnmedia

I am so tired of hearing this. So many people, probably most of us, at one time or another in our past, have done or said something racist and/or politically incorrect. The past is the past, the man has apologised. Let's move on.

There are leaders who are clearly racists in our world today and who won't apologize, and worse there are people who sadly support them, yet Trudeau admits he made a mistake and people are asking for his resignation Say what you will, but this is beyond ridiculous!

Don bye,two Canadian premiers praise Trump in Ohio, no one says a word.Trudeau blackens his face at a costume gala 20 years ago and CTV lose their minds over it.Grow up people.Hes a lot of things but NOT racist.

He painted his skin, he made Afro hairstyle, he even picked this shirt with bananas on it, he accepted the best education in Canada but he tried so hard to mock black people, why he hates black people so much? Obviously, he's a racist who believes in white supremacists, STOP HIM!

The Cons are loaded with Racists and the media gives them a free pass.

I think if you asked him, he fell from his high magic carpet. Just sayin....

Are you leaving CTV news?

Can we understand Trudeau’s resistance to help indigenous children—who bathe daily in mercury-poisoned water—in Grassy Narrows within his total racism cdnpoli racist TIME nytimes CBCMontreal CTVAtlantic CTVMontreal MeghanMcCain This is re his fight with Brazeau:

Prime Minister Photo Flop! 🥺

At 29 you would think he'd have been old enough to know better.
