Justin Trudeau's blackface scandal is still a hot-button issue as the election for Canada's Prime Minister approaches ... as a couple of demonstrators were happy to remind him. He was greeted by a group of protesters, at one of his stops, decked out in blackface while holding up the old blackface photos of Trudeau that threw him into a storm of controversy.

The demonstrators also had signs reading, "We're Aladdin Too! Orillia Blackface Club Welcomes Trudeau." As we've reported ... the Canadian PM has been on the apology tour since a 2001 yearbook photo surfaced showing him in blackface when he was 29 years old. He claimed he was dressed as Aladdin but, after the initial scandal, 2 other instances surfaced where Trudeau wore blackface as part of a costume.

Is this like the people who spammed racial slurs to get their Battlenet account banned because Blizzard wouldn't delete them?

I read it and thought nobody is dumb enough to do that while having good intentions Nd then I thought maybe they were black people with black makeup on or something

Nope

The whole blackface thing is such a joke in Canada.

It's mostly a bunch of white conservatives who are "outraged" and trying to make it a wedge issue.

"If you vote for Trudeau you're racist!", countless bots on Twitter were trying to push it.

Meanwhile most people just moved on. Our media even gave up on it.

Somewhere in Montreal, QC, a man with green dreads is gasping for air.

You'd think this would be painfully obvious to everyone, but if the last few years has taught me anything, it's that a ton of people are stupid and gullible.
