One of federal Liberal candidate Dan Ruimy香蕉视频直播檚 election signs has been vandalized with blackface.

The incumbent for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge saw the sign at the roundabout on Airport Way, near the Golden Ears Bridge, when coming back from a rally on Tuesday night.

The Liberal campaign was rocked by a last week, after images of a younger Justin Trudeau wearing blackface and dressed in ethnic costumes surfaced.

Ruimy defended his party香蕉视频直播檚 leader, saying his policies as prime minister show he is not racist, and that he apologized and 香蕉视频直播渙wned香蕉视频直播� his mistakes.

He said such public racism 香蕉视频直播� like putting blackface on his signs 香蕉视频直播� is not socially productive.
