If I see one more doctored photo of Trudeau…

Sad that he even has to address this contrived and fake 'controversy'. Didn't Seinfeld do a bachelor 'slave' auction one episode?

Oh yes, conservatives every where will support this idea, but will post blackface photos every time Trudeau is mentioned. This is their consistency on race controversies.

He would have done it himself if he went to university.

but all ok for Trudeaus black face

Hey Doug who supports you?

A dumb ass move as a university student. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

I’m more concerned about the goat fucking.

Good thing he's not on my ballot. Getting harder to teach the kids right from wrong with so many class clowns getting rewarded with votes.

Lecce should never have apologized. This was a common fundraising ploy at the time.
