Trudeau vows to continue campaign amid blackface scandal via SABCNewsOnline

The Liberal Party leader’s campaign has been upended since Time magazine on Wednesday published an image of the prime minister, who is known to be strong advocate for multiculturalism, with his face blackened at a 2001 “Arabian Nights” party when he was a 29-year-old teacher at a Vancouver private school.

“I come from a place of privilege and I have endeavoured in my life to put the advantages and opportunities I’ve been given to serve this country, to fight for people’s rights,” he said.Earlier, Trudeau held a conference call for all his 338 candidates in the election for Canada’s parliament. “It is clearly very damaging at this time, and the full impacts will not become clear for a week or so,” said Frank Graves, head of the EKOS Research polling company. “I don’t think it will be fatal but time will tell.”

Greg Fergus, a black Liberal legislator from Quebec, said Trudeau had called him before the story broke on Wednesday to apologize.
