Even if voters absolve Justin Trudeau of racism, they may still question his judgment and character
FOR THE most politically correct prime minister in Canada’s history, the embarrassment is acute. At the start of an election campaign, in which Justin Trudeau hopes to win another four years in power, no fewer than three images of him wearing blackface as a younger man have surfaced.magazine got hold of a yearbook photo from 2001 of Mr Trudeau in brown make-up and dressed as Aladdin at an “Arabian Nights” costume party at a school where he then taught.
Mr Trudeau’s rivals have piled in. The images are proof that he is not fit to govern, declared Andrew Scheer, the leader of the Conservative Party, which is level with the Liberals in opinion polls. Jagmeet Singh, the turbanned Sikh who leads the left-leaning New Democrats, said the prime minister’s mockery of dark-skinned people had hurt a lot of young Canadians.
Mr Bernier will take part in leaders’ debates on October 7th and 10th. His presence will keep race and immigration in the headlines. Mr Bernier has questioned Canada’s statutory commitment to multiculturalism, and says that Mr Trudeau’s “cult of diversity” will divide Canadians into tribes with less and less in common. He has called for cutting immigration by more than half by setting a cap of 100,000-150,000 a year. The government target in 2018 was for 330,000 new permanent residents.
The biggest danger for the Liberals, says Mr Bricker, is that some voters who might have supported them will now back the New Democrats. Mr Singh’s party has little chance of forming a government, but a split in the centre-left vote could usher the Conservatives in.
