As part of his response to media revelations that he wore blackface at least three times as a young man, for parties and performances, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been having one-on-one conversations with representatives of communities certain to be particularly troubled by the news.
A: I’ve lived with this my entire life. I’ve seen many leaders, many leaders, go through a time when certain comments weren’t acceptable. I’ve seen a lot of lip service throughout my time, and I can tell you straight out that Justin, in his apology, was heartfelt. I think I’m a good judge of character.A: It’s easy to say stuff. Words are important, but you’ve got to demonstrate with actions, and he’s already had a consistent performance on this.
Q: I spoke with Cheryl Thompson, a Ryerson University professor who has studied the history of blackface in Canada. She credited some aspects of Mr. Trudeau’s apology. But she also said people like you should confront him on this when he speaks to you about it. Did you confront him?
Don’t forget this self proclaimed war hero tried to take credit for planning a major war operation he had little to do with! That was one of the first cases about 3 years ago of liberal lies and corruption from this government! Not sure we should believe 1 lib lier or the other!

HarjitSajjan SajjanMustGo Trudeau vote with ur black make up ON. It's tolerance in Canadian democracy it's 2019!!! Yhide? Come out of the closet with Pride2019 TrudeauBlackface TrudeauRacist TrudeauBlackFaceGate Vote ElectionsCanada Election2019 AndrewScheer wef
fubardaddy Yeah but this comes from a guy who's stolen valor. Sooo....
Forget about apologizing to Canadians! the prime minster has to apologize to all black and Indian people around the world for making them look like serial white woman gropers! many rapes are happening in India this is no joke and it's not trivial.
What do you expect from a Liberal Minister? Rev. Al Sharpton, the veteran civil-rights leader, said on Thursday that Mr. Trudeau’s apologies were “disingenuous” because he did not disclose his actions but rather waited until they were uncovered by the media.
Did he cry? Because we have come to realize without tears he is only sorry he got caught.
Could also be they are cut from the same cloth and are use to manipulating a self serving agenda!
Are we seriously expected to trust a guy who lied about his own role during operation medusa?
I stand behind Justin Trudeau, it a young and foolish thing he did, he apologize so let him get back to work, he is the only good one leading, the other two parties have nothing as yet to lead this country Canada 🇨🇦
He needs to get re-elected!
Well, get that resume' ready.... dude ..
Shallow answers to shallow questions. This MP was just attacking others for the company they keep on Twitter but no mention of that specifically but let’s give him an opportunity to attack Scheer again, the “interview” did allow Cdns to see the shallowness of the architect.
coming from the ever objective, non-biased voice of reason
charlesadler I discount and 'voucher' for Trudeau's character or contrition from one of his cultist lackeys. It's called self-preservation. Mr.Sajjan is more concerned for his job than the hurt this may have caused anyone.
Geddes28 Did HarjitSajjan see video where Trudeau mimicked an ape while in blackface? I wonder what his reaction was to this one in particular?
Which blackface incident?
He is sorry about the incidents? How many of them? How is he sorry if he can’t even remember how many times he’s done it? If you’re looking for a definition of privilege don’t look any further. Justin Trudeau is the definition.
I need the job
Coming from the guy that lied about his role in combat to make himself look good that hits home with me....
'My black friends said it's okay for me to say the n word once in a while'
He accepts the apology because otherwise Liberals lose the election. With Liberals, It all about power. Never forget that.
Don't really need to read this. If Trudeau's team stuck with him through everything else, they're not going to abandon him now over this. Their rationalizations are very predictable.
Hypocrite. Look in the mirror, can you live with that hypocrisy?
Says the guy who lies about his role in CAF in Afghanistan. allAboutMe theArchitect. And frames a 38 year stellar intl reputation commander of our Navy. noNotes !! Everybody in public service has notes. Except castro maybe, 50 yrs a great public servant. Zero judgment
Sajjan, the turd polisher
charlesadler Coming from the guy who got caught lying and should have resigned too! Pathetic!
Trudeau's appologies are not real, even the tears are fake, don't be fooled by this sorry excuse for a human
Oh please let me keep my job
because it helps his self interest
An interesting, and disturbing, trend among conservative howlers and barkers is emerging. They seem to be choosing attacking the integrity of POC if they accept Trudeau's apology and still think he's good for Canada. Says a lot doesn't it?
He said sorry only after he was caught. From his behavior Canadians can find out what kind of person he is. He is a PM of Canada not a common person. Canada is supposed to rely on him. Now Canadians know.
I'm sure Bill Cosby's sorry for all that roofie stuff too. And like the Liberal defenders of PM BlackfaceTrudeau are saying, it also happened a long time ago. NoLimits.
Butts put the pressure on
But he wasn’t sorry before it was published in Time and even then not that much until the third incident with video.
Liars..and I am brown...he's only looking out for his pension...put them out to pasture
That’s what you say when you don’t want to lose your job.
He accepts his apology because the reason he's a minister is because of Trudeau. Picking a cabinet based on race, gender and religion is a joke.
Congratulations. You have just normalized his actions. You should be inflamed, aghast, taken aback, anything but this, with a shrug of your shoulders, 'It's ok.' It is not. Shame on you.
These types of apologies are for grade school play grounds, not Prime Minister's office.
charlesadler He knows who butters his bread.
charlesadler This coming from someone who takes credit for someone else’s honour, lies about it until caught, then apologizes. You are all going down together.
charlesadler BS 👎🔨🇨🇦👀
Says the guy who lied about a mission in Afghanistan. Give me a break. The party is full of liars!
charlesadler No words
The defense minister forgets that Trudeau is a student and teacher of drama. That is one thing he is good at.
charlesadler If you can show me in his policies or things he has done as an elected official that he is racist I would definitely think about voting for him but I haven’t seen it. I do know someone who won’t apologize for remarks he made in parliament as a representative of Canada.
charlesadler He has taken NO responsibility. He apologized for something captured in a photo, what else is he gonna do. He should resign or show more tolerance for those that have made these types of ‘mistakes’ in the past.
charlesadler Uh, cause he wants to keep his cushy salary!
charlesadler So the man who lied and Stole Valor is supporting the other guy that cant remember how many times he was a racists.. Wow...
Gotta love the free passes.
Definitely a lot sorrier than ScheerHomophobia was about either his views on marriage, specifically that those who 'cannot commit to the natural procreation of children. They cannot therefore be married' or on the racist candidates in his own party.
Bullshit
charlesadler Well that makes it all better then.
Fellow liar.
They have to say that....their jobs are at stake. Liberals show their lack of ethics.
charlesadler He has to support his boss....this is meaningless.
So, you get to keep your cabinet position, right? Ya, that’s what I thought
