One happened 2 days ago... the other happened 20 years ago.
I’m just not sure why some people are so hung up on this comparison. You all have the ability to consider context. I don’t think this is the reason people want Cherry gone, it’s the fact that it’s one incident in a continuing pattern. TONS of people wanted Trudeau gone, he probably lost votes for it, but just like this situation you’re not going to get majority buy in because you think it matters.
For the record, I think Cherry should go, but not because of this. It’s just because he’s not very good any more. I also think Trudeau should go, and not because of the blackface incident.
I think if this is THE reason you think Cherry needs to be fired, or if you’re the type who is still talking about Trudeau’s blackface, you’re no better than each other and I don’t think people should be obsessing or making decisions over such petty things (especially when both situations have so much more context to make an informed decision over).
