ONTARIO – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will forge ahead with his re-election campaign after blackface photos of him emerged and shifted voter support toward his Conservative rivals.
The ruling Liberals were knocked off course when Time magazine published a picture of Trudeau in brown makeup at a 2001 “Arabian Nights” party when he was a 29-year-old teacher. Two other images and a video of him in blackface later surfaced.
After two days of apologies, Trudeau resumed his campaign and is set to talk about health care in Hamilton on Monday.
