"Trudeau, who apologized for his behavior and told reporters he 'should have known better,' has long used his preening moral superiority as rationale for political leadership. He had been in politics less than five years when he became Liberal Party leader in April 2013. Without his veneer of being a champion for racial and gender equality, he would have been nothing more than what conservatives claimed he was: an untested, immature man whose only rationale for power was the fact he was the son of a former Liberal prime minister....
"When asked Wednesday if more brownface or blackface photos could emerge, Trudeau replied there might be, saying he has 'been more enthusiastic about costumes than is sometimes appropriate.' Trudeau’s public display of racial and gender equality has now been shown to be yet another fancy costume. Canadians must have the courage to stand up and say it's unacceptable."
And to close, a little something scraped from Blazing Cat Fur.
