I just want to know if he's still a liberal poster child or if we don't like him now.
My friend is trying to be woke..... he's very confused.
Countries are on different timelines on the blackface issue compared to others. Up until 2000 it was common in Canada. Until 2018 it was common in the Netherlands..
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/18/netherlands-ban-blackface-makeup-zwarte-piet-black-pete-christmas-paradeYou'll have pictures of nearly any politician here dressed up as black pete as a kid.. And the same goes for Trudeau, whom was, I suppose, active in acting, role-playing and drama at that time.
Are we ok with Black face now?
Kinda depends on many circumstances. Trudeau doing it now would not be ok.
