As part of his opening segment, "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah said the reason Trudeau has been popular in the U.S. is because he's been a women's rights and environmental advocate, and he has connected with minority communities.
"But now we are learning that he may have connected with minority communities a little too much," Noah joked.A black-and-white photo from a 2001 yearbook shows Trudeau at an "Arabian Nights"-themed gala event at a Vancouver private school where he once taught. In the photo, published Wednesday by Time magazine, Trudeau is clad in a turban and robe with his face, hands and neck covered in dark makeup.
Trudeau, who is seeking re-election as prime minister, apologized profusely afterward, calling the action racist, although he said he wasn't aware it was racist at the time. Noah, a South African comedian, joked, "if you are going to darken your skin, at least get the colour right."He went on to say Trudeau didn't need the brownface to make the costume work at the event.Trudeau has also admitted to wearing blackface in a high school performance where he sang Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat Song ."
Trudeau a leader with irrponsibities.
I say; Mind your own business USA. You have enough mud of your own to sling. Lame talk show hosts who can’t do anything but talk. Get a real job!
Who cares!!
They are not better than anyone. We Canadians don't care what they think. It's always every one likes to point fingers at others, before fixing themselves. Have they forgotten that they live in a weird society.
That was a totally different How about people who use white face as mimes and clowns? ... and intelligence then to join the rest of the party leaders in calling Trudeau racist for going to a costume party 20 years ago ... ASK SHEER
If you care what talk show hosts think your part of the problem.
Talk show hosts 🤦♀️
Canada’s reputation has been irrevocably tarnished on the world stage from this, Trudeau should have enough sense to appoint a replacement and step aside.
How is this important? Move on. Is there nothing else going on in the world?
Hummm ? ? Well ? ? Colour ? ?
Nah I think it’s great news, quite funny 😆 We also here of trump so why not
Who is this useless CTV reporter acting like a child

Still running with this eh......people have moved on. Im sorry it does not meet your agenda
Stupid teenager
Let’s focus on the important issues facing Canadians like climate change, affordable housing, opioid crisis etc in this election. What are the positions of the political parties on these issues? I don’t care what talk show hosts have to say about our political leaders.
Time to get over it, let's move on.
Stephen Colbert: 'A photo has emerged of Trudeau wearing brownface at a party. This is pretty bad,' Colbert said. 'And I just want to say -- it's not us this time. Suck it, Canada!' damnit! aha
We don’t have the same history as the Americans. Canadians know their Prime Minister and can form an opinion based on our history and his performance while in office.
Ah yes comedians are the true truth tellers of our generation
Can you give it a rest now? He meant no harm. Stop being a shill for the PCP.
No offence but who cares what they think. This is Canada. Can we see more Canadian news, candidate platforms minus the drama, please? Pertinent info.
