Why should we not expect that from the party leading the country too? Why are they very much allowed to get away with condoning racist pasts by their collective inaction? Why are private companies held to a higher standard than our elected representatives who set policy for all this kind of stuff?
In short...why is some past racism forgiven and other is not?
Its part of the discussion moving forward that has to be addressed IMO, if there is to be any real headway made in the whole topic.
Just my thoughts on it is all.

Interesting how you went from a crusader of "blackface isn't racist" to "Trudeau shouldn't be leader for his racist blackface." Surely there's no bias there.
You of all people must admit that yelling the N word in frustration at a black player and wearing black makeup, especially 20 years ago, are not on the same level of racism.
