Reconciliation Work: Trudeau and Blackface Makeup

reconciliation work: Asked by CTV's Glen McGregor when he told his campaign team about the existence of the images he responded by saying he was embarrassed and that I didn't want to talk about it with anyone because I'm not that person anymore, according to CTV. When we found out TIME Magazine was looking for a picture of that event I told my staff, Trudeau told the crowd. Trudeau told the crowd he's deeply sorry and it's just not right. A report from TIME Magazine Wednesday included an image of the first of three instances of Trudeau wearing brownface or blackface makeup that surfaced in a single day. I also wanted to recognize that he's been a strong supporter of our reconciliation work, he said. Winnipeg's mayor reacts Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman said he was disappointed when he saw the videos, but acknowledged Trudeau's apology. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
