But he apologized which means he would be completely welcomed into the Conservative party, according to Scheer. -- nm* - Shaun Sep 19, 06:29 4
- One can make the argument that Prime Minister is a higher standard than MP. But if playing gotcha, he was given the opportunity last night to.... - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 06:48 2
  - That's not the point I'm making at all. Your guy is actively endorsing racists if they 'apologized' for being racist. - Shaun Sep 19, 06:55 1
    - For social media mistakes or jokes. He hasn’t given carte blanche to somebody who did a racially motivated attack like assault or vandalism. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 07:04

Odds on Trudeau resigning -- (link) - budice Sep 19, 06:24 3
- Ridiculous to even suggest. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 06:32
- Zero. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 06:25
- no. -- nm - Andie Sep 19, 06:24
I'd rather side with him over this and what he has done for immigration than someone who has never done this but doesn't want brown people to enter - Beaker Sep 19, 06:09 4
- Even Bernier is still advocating for significant (though reduced) immigration. Nobody is presenting the “No brown people” Liberal fantasy. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 06:29 2
  - Meanwhile, this piece of garbage is running in NB. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 19, 06:41 1
    - I’m not about to stump for the PPC (though I enjoy the release valve they offer to the worst of the conservative supporters like this prize). -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 06:45
- and also, I'd be more likely to vote for a party and their leader who actually came out and said "look at what he has done since being PM not what he - Beaker Sep 19, 06:10
Things need to be taken in context. Yes it is bad now... - Karl_S Sep 19, 05:47 2
- It wasn't before people had a problem with it. But anyone who hates so called "cancel culture" should be rallying in his defence ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 19, 07:25
- Someone made this point last night. The blackface All In the Family episode was 1975 and only worked because the audience knew it wasn’t appropriate. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 06:06
Picture of him doesnt look good -- nm - budice Sep 19, 05:36
Too bad he’s not running in the USA that stuff is just “yeah I liked beer college indiscretions” -- nm - Brett Kavanaugh Sep 19, 05:22 1
- *leans real close to the mic... pauses* Drinking game. -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 05:46
Twelve hours later, video of a third event emerges. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 05:18 19
- Not excusing any of this, i assure you, but i would honestly believe that he honestly might have forgotten instances of this. I know in my university - Andie Sep 19, 05:40 18
  - I've said before, if people did now what I and my friends did in University 25 years ago they would be expelled. no question. - Beaker Sep 19, 06:11 1
    - In Engineering, we were rowdy as hell, but had a next to no tolerance policy for racism and sexism. I don't buy that *everyone* did this. - Reagen Sep 19, 08:02
  - Ted Danson was 1993. Bamboozled was out in 2000. He was almost 30. Trudeau isn’t a racist. He’s a douche trust fund kid. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 05:45 15
    - I don't think I've ever argued differently - I have many personal issues with him - Reagen Sep 19, 06:36 2
      - Obviously I disagree on (most) policy differences but that’s a reasonable cleavage. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 06:50 1
        
        It's similar to my opinion on Mulroney - Reagen Sep 19, 07:41
    - An example of a Halloween costume that would sink me... (and i think i'm a pretty decent person) - one year I went as Jon Benet Ramsey. - Andie Sep 19, 05:53 10
      - Did I tell you in TO that when I was putting together a photo album for my mom’s 70th I was shocked to find her and all her friends all as Aunt Jemima - JackDawson Sep 19, 06:06 7
        
        right, it doesn't excuse it, but it's clear that at the time they weren't perceived negatively by their peers (and society.) -- (edited) - Andie Sep 19, 06:20 6
        
        I wonder if my “illegal alien” outfit would cause a fuss? (Dressed as an alien but with a mexican flag over me) -- nm* - JackDawson Sep 19, 06:24 5
        
        I'm sure some woke white people would be offended for Mexicans on their behalf. -- nm - Shaun Sep 19, 06:35 1
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 07:06
        
        Greenface is bad, m’kay? -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Sep 19, 06:34 2
        
        No makeup, have you met me? I’m too lazy. I just bought a prefab alien mask - finding a Mexican flag and combining it is the most effort I’ve ever mad - JackDawson Sep 19, 06:47 1
        
        Then you’re fine. :) -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Sep 19, 06:48
      - “...And Andie’s luck finally ran out.” -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 19, 06:05 1
        
        i mean, true! -- nm - Andie Sep 19, 06:19
    - Again... -- nm - Brett Kavanaugh Sep 19, 05:49
