We do get some pretty entertaining scandals once in a while though.

Trudeau did that twice, right? And it was such a shit show south of the border over the last few years that if you blinked you missed it.

Yeah I think at least two occasions that were documented, but he wouldn't put a number on how many times in total.
The Rob Ford crack smoking scandal was up there too. That got some laughs on American TV.

I mean, the Mayor of Toronto was smoking crack. That's pretty fucking crazy! It's the biggest city in Canada and one of the biggest in North America.

Honestly I think black face is worse than smoking crack. Anyway, my point is those were isolated incidents and we've had a laundry list of fucked up things down here for all kinds of folks.

Yeah the fact that Ford would have chilled with those guys kind of humanized him for me, although I still think he was a stupid and intolerant boor overall. Whereas Trudeau's scandal demonstrated the insulated bubble he lived in, at least at that time.

He was a teacher at a private school some years before his political career and they did an "Arabian Nights" themed party. He apparently was the only one to put on brownface makeup for it. I am not too sure of the story with the woman his hand is on but she does not appear to be uncomfortable with it, so maybe they were dating or something.

Lol. Doing black face in the 80s is not worse than an elected official engaging in multiple felonies. Give me a break.

I was at McGill the same time as Trudeau. McGill is a huge school though and I don’t recall ever seeing him although I probably wasn’t aware of who he was at the time.

Not what I said. And it was not the 80s when Trudeau taught at the private school with the Arabian nights party, that photo was taken in 2001.
But I would have assumed Ford was too racist to hang out with those guys so I found it surprising. I don't care in the least about him committing drug offenses (other than drug and alcohol abuse contributing to his incompetence) but would never have voted for Ford if I still lived in Toronto when he ran. The Trudeau Liberals I voted for twice in spite of Trudeau's shortcomings. I don't think Trudeau was necessarily maliciously racist but just hopelessly out of touch and insulated.

Haven't seen that clip before. Lol.
I guess for the blackface vs crackface comparison you have to take into affect the political environment at the time the allegations came to light. I get what you're saying though.

i cackled when the republican congresswoman said the left is "united only in hate" it's almost like one part of these people's brains are trying to make them self aware, but then another part is like nah fuck that lets just invert the subject and BAM now that thought is about someone else and not me
