While I don't feel that reflects negatively on the nation we do really have to look in the mirror and ask ourselves what exactly we are standing for as this nonsense of picking and choosing what is offensive and what no based on how it suits our narratives is not cool. There is little doubt that a large portion of Canadians are major hypocrites which is unfortunate.

A point, but not a very big one.
Besides the assumption that all the groups are the same, it's not really as simple as picking one action that Trudeau did and voting based on that. I was very uncomfortable with the black face news. But, not enough to disqualify him over Scheer.
There are many issues in politics, not just one. There's no chance any politician's morals, ethics, and values map to my own one-to-one... so there's always the opportunity to have a "gotcha with the hypocrisy" moment.
Honestly, though, if I had voted it would most likely have been for neither.
