Trudeau blackface images have tarnished Canada’s reputation: Wynne
TORONTO — Images of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau in blackface and brownface have tarnished Canada’s international reputation and he should have confronted them long ago, former Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne said on Friday.
Wynne, who supported and actively campaigned for Trudeau in 2015 when she was the Liberal premier, said in an interview that she was upset and angry to see the images, because Trudeau should have known better, especially by age 30.
She is thought to have delivered Trudeau crucial Ontario votes, though it came before her own popularity plummeted and her party was reduced from a majority government to not having official party status in the legislature last year.
In an interview, Wynne said she has a hard time believing that Trudeau’s team didn’t have already the images — three instances as recent as 2001 have emerged, and Trudeau has said he isn’t sure if there are more.
