Minneapolis has been rocked by a third night of violent protests over the death of an unarmed black man after a white police officer knelt on his neck as he lay on the ground following arrest.
“Many Canadians of diverse backgrounds are watching, like all Canadians are, the news out of the United States with shock and with horror,” Trudeau said in unprompted remarks at the end of a daily briefing. “Anti-black racism - racism - is real. It’s in the United States but it’s also in Canada and we know people are facing systemic discrimination, unconscious bias and anti-black racism every single day,” he told reporters. “We have work to do as well in Canada.”
Trudeau’s remarks were a highly unusual commentary on American domestic affairs. Canadian prime ministers have in general refrained from discussing events in what is Canada’s main ally and largest trading partner. Trudeau has long spoken about the need to end racism but last September his campaign for reelection was almost derailed after pictures of him in blackface emerged.
We all know blackface JustinTrudeau is racists, rich, and privileged. Yes. It doesn’t mean Canada is.
Trudeau is very lucky Canadians are passive and don't hold him accountable for his dictator style abuse of tax dollars.
The last of the Democrats' tricks to win the US election by creating chaos and looting people's property
Racism everywhere
Cudos to him for being honest and frank. All other Western leaders should say the same.
Trudeau for your US edification has dressed in black face too many times to count. While stuffing a banana down his pants. Yes, the evidence is old, but it tells of the privileged and racial ignorance of an unqualified Prime Minister. He's got a creepy racist past.
Was this jackass adopted?
Blackface is now trying to start shit in Canada too?
Wow. As I read the article, I feel that your tweet is a little misleading.
Well, at least Canada doesn't have a President that exasperates the problem.
Racism problem? Here it is.
Ya, him.
His the head of the problem.
Yeah Canada has a Racist Problem. Our Prime Minister is a racist who did blackface so many times he lost track, thats our racist problem. The rest of us are the most accepting country on the planet and thats a fact.
5M23129 Trolls the message is we have problems and we need to do better. We all know what he did, it was wrong and he knows it. So do we move to a better tomorrow or stay stuck here. And wanting to stay stuck, not moving forward is perhaps a greater sin. Be well
Good that he’s saying this, quite sure conservatives will again talk about his blackface fancy dress party, maybe so, but it’s easy to toss an off the cuff remark, much more honest to admit it’s a problem.
Yeah... The New Conservative Party
Cut that mop off black face
They are not riots. Stop double standard
Canada's level of racism is what America strive to reach. Right now, we're like a foot away from Nazi level racism. That's to say racism here, has gotten out of control in the last few years.... I wonder why?
Stupid
He's the commander in chief of Canadian racism
Was that an invitation to rioting, or?
Although not to the extent of a “foundation of racism” like in USA. Since once been on twitter, I have a few Canadian followers that allow me a window in Canadian culture & politics. It’s interesting & concerning that there are parallels of right wing type of power corruption.
This guy really has a great head of hair for his age!!
We have a racist president nothing to be surprised
Yea sure
Castrodo
US news should carry this instead .. our PM is a criminal and borderlines communism
He's a true leader
Can we see his black face stuff?
Trudeau feel left out
Yes, don’t blame others first, put head down solve own problem first.
no we aren't ... in one Canadian city this wee we has 15 shootings - we aren't that shocked about people cause havoc ... The media like to blow shit out of proportion
Dude is an expert
Who’s the hippy chick in the photo? She needs to wax her beard.
All the racist AF white right-wingers here bringing up the blackface episode rather than examining their own racism = not helping
to all you commenting on the black face, I'll say this: it isn't murder.
Oh, you poor thing.
Why would they be shocked? I mean Jesus they have lived next door to us for a long freaking time. They haven't noticed our dirty little secrets?
Many Canadians are shock by the donation of 850 million to the UN USA=450 m China=40m Population in Canada 37.6 m
can we seek asylum now please?
Sure thing, they loooooooove to steal the goods from other countries.
ok
You look smart with the beard 👌👌
Is it an indication that riots may start in Canada too JustinTrudeau
This crap goes back to the Civil War. Reconstruction never occurred. Lincoln was assassinated and his Confederate-sympathizing VP allowed the hate filled South to murder freed slaves and implement Jim Crow for a century. The hate continues.

Guess who....
He would know, he’s one of them
Did your dad ever tell you of the October Crisis? Or were you too busy dressing up for Halloween?
And it’s in the PM’s office..
Everywhere you find people, you will find racism. It is for the most part made manifest in bad jokes and ill informed opinion. White supremacy and institutional racism at a governmental level, no longer exists amongst thinking people.
No shit Sherlock!!
what is so shcoking? the black cannot fight back?
..... yes.... the Prime Minstrel of Canada has a real problem with racism 🤣
Don't you go to promulgate an 'African-American Human Rights Act'?
This idiot is one them racist
Unfortunately we do have a racist prime minister
Canada's racism is worse than the US but it's hidden. The US is much better for educated minorities but Canada marginalizes educated minorities & it's the 3rd worst country in the western world for qualified minorities to get a job. JustinTrudeau PMcanadien
Hopefully, we shall never get even close to the US in terms of our race relations......and we shall never have a leader who is as divisive as Trump is.
In Canada we enjoy living under the The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that protects us, our family and even the extended once. we have a lot of proofs throughout the Canadian history.
Going on 5 years and it’s still Harper’s fault! What it must be like for lefties to have someone ingrained in their heads this badly.....their Skippy Blackface emotional support dolls will be getting a workout this weekend.
Everywhere now has racism problems due to global migration. Much you forget to say is also religious.
Yes and here’s the biggest racist of them all.
And police terrorists showed up at Wetsuweten defenders on his watch.
Of course he knows, being part of the problem !
Oh yes. We hear it every 4 years. Anyone that disagrees with his opinion is racist. Blah blahhhhhhhh. The only tool left in a liberals tool box.
The woman in the Ramble in Central Park was a Canadian.
