OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in major political trouble just weeks before facing voters, felled by a penchant for poor jokes and dressing up that have let him down before and are now raising accusations of racial insensitivity.
Trudeau, who has said he will not resign, said he did not realize at the time how offensive blackface was and asked Canadians for forgiveness. [L2N26A11D] “Before he does a public event, his team tells him: ‘Don’t make jokes,’” said one well-placed Liberal. “PM Trudeau makes me not want to call myself a Canadian. ‘Star Wars’ jokes when we just lost one of the key towns of Alberta?” commented one irate Twitter user.Liberals who have worked with Trudeau say his gregariousness masks a sometimes shy personality and that his off-color jokes are a defense mechanism.
“I don’t think he’s racist. I think he’s ‘Mr. Dressup,’ to tell you the truth,” the strategist said, referring to a well-known Canadian children’s TV show. “He’s been playing with personas and ways of appearing in public for most of his public life. And I think that he just saw this as another costume.”
