Ok seriously they aren’t even remotely comparable.
Justin made his mistakes in his teens and 20s. Peters was an adult. Trudeau’s incidents were longer ago than Bill’s. Trudeau was elected by voters not chosen by a select few individuals from a private organization. If there was a public vote on Bill Peters’ job the results may be way different. There’s no ethics clause in the PM’s nonexistent contract. Trudeau has a long history of championing equality, while this makes him a hypocrite, it also means there’s plenty of evidence that suggests he’s learned. No such evidence exists for Bill. The n word is worse, way worse, than blackface.
Trudeau’s re-election has no relevance here.
