Recently released photos of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in brownface and blackface are causing an uproar across the country and, B.C.香蕉视频直播檚 Skeena-Bulkley Valley is no exception.

Wet香蕉视频直播檚uwet香蕉视频直播檈n Chief Na香蕉视频直播橫oks, who also goes by the name John Ridsdale, was unequivocal that it sows fear within Indigenous communities.

香蕉视频直播淲hen you have an elected official who actually has photos of that subject matter made public, it affects everybody,香蕉视频直播� he said.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 such a terrible thing where this country has two parties, either Liberal or Conservative, and you always have to take the best of the worst, I guess.

香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 what we did when he got in last time, and now between him and that Scheer madness, I thought one was more racist than the other, but now it appears they seem to be neck and neck.香蕉视频直播�

The first photo, published on Wednesday by Time Magazine, shows Trudeau in 2001 in dark makeup, wearing a turban during an 香蕉视频直播淎rabian Nights香蕉视频直播�-themed party at the Vancouver private school where he was a teacher.

Trudeau apologized that evening and acknowledged a second photo of him in brownface. On Thursday morning, a third racist photo of him, this time in blackface, emerged.

Skeena-Bulkley Valley Conservative candidate Claire Ratt茅e said that香蕉视频直播檚 not good enough.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 shocking and pretty disgusting to see something like that coming from our prime minister,香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淚t was wrong then, it香蕉视频直播檚 wrong now, and I don香蕉视频直播檛 think he香蕉视频直播檚 given a reasonable apology on that at all. I don香蕉视频直播檛 think that he actually understands the gravity of what he香蕉视频直播檚 done.香蕉视频直播�

Dave Birdi, the Liberal candidate and himself a person of South Asian descent, downplayed the issue.

香蕉视频直播淢y main focus is on jobs,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淲ith this, I do have trust with Trudeau.

香蕉视频直播淭hose photos of Justin Trudeau don香蕉视频直播檛 matter. What matters are jobs. And wherever I go in the Skeena-Bulkley Valley that香蕉视频直播檚 what I hear.香蕉视频直播�

Chief Na香蕉视频直播橫oks said he worries what it means for Indigenous people going forward.

香蕉视频直播淐anada is supposed to be a pretty caring and sharing country and when you get down to dirty politics, these things come out, but just the fact that he has these, is really disturbing,香蕉视频直播� he said.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 pretty unfair when you have a two-party country. You have options in third and fourth place, but they seem to go down in the polls. This year, I think, the political race is going to get dirtier and dirtier by the day.香蕉视频直播�
