Honestly...insulting to the history of racism towards black people to suggest otherwise. Until someone can show me a north american cultural analogue, it holds as a solid argument.

Someone can find this offensive, without calling it something it's not. This isn't "blackface", it just fucking isn't. Anyone calling it blackface misses the point as to why blackface is offensive.

Nah. Even yellow face has a sordid history.

I’m not sure how much this will matter. People who are offended enough by this photo to change their votes don’t strike me as likely to run into the arms of the CPC, for the most part.

It matters bigly in first past the post. Those votes may go to the NDP, but in battleground ridings, it’ll be the Tories that benefit with a split on the left.
 
If the NDP had done anything at all the last few years this would be a massive opportunity for them.
 
This wont tilt in favor of the PCs

Its going to hurt for a bit while its fresh but Scheer and his constant lies will cost him in the end

A lot of canadians aren't feeling the trudeau hype. They are voting liberal just to keep the cons out, if they get up to vote at all. Liberals voters aren't going to switch to the CPC over this but they might just stay home.
 
I expect a big turnout this year just to keep Scheer out. The youth vote will be out in large numbers

Trudeau has his warts but Scheer would put this country back in the dark ages.

I'm of a opposite mind.

In 2015 people were voting for hope and change from the harper years. Massive youth turnout, plus weed and electoral reform.

2019, Trudeau is just another scandal plagued politician, doing the same nonsense every other politician has done, the weed roleout has been less than stellar, electoral reform is dead, and now this brownface?

I don't see young people really turning out in droves for trudeau. Old people will turn out in droves for scheer because old people are a really reliable voting bloc.
