A previously unseen picture of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wearing blackface makeup has been shared on Twitter.
The photo appears to be taken at an Arabian Night-themed gala back in 2001. The picture drew international media reaction in 2019, when it was published in Time magazine, triggering a huge scandal over accusations of racism.
What's interesting, the new picture emerged just on the eve of the federal election in Canada.
Following the 2019 scandal, accusations of racism and hypercriticism became a reality for the Canadian politician. According to a recent poll conducted by The Postmedia-Leger, Trudeau's image has been tarnished dramatically as many Canadians participating in the survey agreed with an assertion of that he appeared "angry", disrespectful and cynical during the 2021 election campaign.
