Still facing questions about the controversy he put himself in, part of his push to turn the page has been to have conversations with people of colour. Late Thursday night Trudeau’s campaign team reached out to Singh's staff "expressing a desire to talk," Singh told reporters while making a pharmacare announcement in Essex, Ont.
The NDP leader is the first federal party leader of colour running to be prime minister, and his response to the Trudeau visuals has received praise across the political spectrum, with even Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer saying "he responded with a lot of class and dignity.
"I think people are very concerned about the hypocrisy, the fact that there is one set of rules for Justin Trudeau and one set of rules for everyone else," Scheer said.On Wednesday night, TIME Magazine published a photo from the 2000-2001 yearbook of West Point Grey Academy, a private day school in Vancouver where Trudeau was a teacher at the time. The photo, the Liberal campaign confirmed, was from the school’s annual dinner that had an "Arabian Nights" theme.
In apologizing for the first photo, Trudeau also admitted that he "dressed up at a talent show and sang Day-O. With makeup on," while he was in high school, referring to a Jamaican folk song called "Banana Boat Song ." A photo of this incident was printed in his Montreal school Brebeuf College's yearbook.
Or he has noted Singh’s response and wants to engage with him. “Pivot” is spin from a journalist and unnecessary in a political campaign period overrun by professional spin doctors.
While we’re on mocking minorities.....let’s throw in mocking Christian’s too JustinTrudeau TrudeauMustGo
Let's act like nothing happened. The theme of the Liberal party.
Trudeau should not meet with NDP leader who calls the pics racist . As a Sikh he should not judge and is using this for his own personal gain. I am East Indian and a Sikh I was not offended , it was A dress up party
Awsome leader taking the high road compare to Low lying Sheer lol
Please unite against the conservatives 💆🏼♀️🙏🏼
That sure looks like a nazi salute.
Amazing to see CTV criticize Scheer for his response to Justin’s racism. Surely leftist media types know Trudeau lied and has been exposed for his hypocrisy.
You fake news hacks are going to let him get away with this? You loons were calling for Trump to resign over a made up Russia collusion hoax for 2 f'ing years. This is why you're the enemy of the people.
Doesn’t matter what our fake feminist prime minister does. In the eyes of the world, he will always be a racist! His legacy will be that he was Canada’s first openly racist prime minister!
Move on people this is being politicized
He only cares about Singh because if he wins a minority - which is the most likely outcome - he requires NDP supoort to get anything accomplished

HuffPost is now a part of OathHuffPost , media better realize that Trudeau's issues are a refection on the media that supports him and the candidates that run for the Liberal Party. Make no mistake .. Canadian's see the corruption and media deception .. Lost in the whole media discussion is the difference b/w the intent to harm (spewing hateful rhetoric + meaning it) vs unintended insensitivity 18 years ago. Most troubling are real racists now 'outraged' + calling others racist, while embolden to be moreso, w/ convenient excuse. Nope. No racism on the Right.
