Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, displaying his wokeness in a manner
to which many critics took umbrage, will appear on a television show devoted
to contestants competing to be the "next global drag superstar."

Trudeau appeared in a trailer for the show "Canada's Drag Race" which has an
episode titled "Canada vs. The World" premiering November 18. The show
features a grand prize of $100,000 and the title of "Canada's Next Drag
Superstar."

"We're making herstory," a picture from the show boasted as it showed a
smiling Trudeau next to a drag queen.

We're making herstory! ???? We're honoured to welcome the Prime
Minister of Canada @JustinTrudeau to #CanadasDragRace, becoming
the first world leader to appear on the Drag Race franchise!

Trudeau was harshly criticized and mocked by some on social media:

More Canadians than ever are resorting to food banks and skipping
meals to afford necessities but this is what our prime minister
thinks is important ?? https://t.co/ywemycTYHI

Heard he got confused and thought the show was Canada's Black Face.

Trudeau, who has been documented wearing blackface and brownface, was mocked
in August after celebrating Emancipation Day, posting a message acknowledging
the "painful history of slavery in Canada" and celebrating "the strength of
Black communities."

Today, we acknowledge the painful history of slavery in Canada. We
also celebrate the strength of Black communities, who fought - and
continue to fight - for justice and equality. Together, let's keep
building a more inclusive Canada. #EmancipationDay

-- Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) August 1, 2022

When Trudeau was 29, he dressed as Aladdin at a an Arabian-Nights-themed
annual dinner at an expensive Vancouver private school, wearing brownface
makeup. The photo was displayed in the 2000-01 yearbook for West Point Grey
Academy. When he was in high school, he wore blackface to apparently pose as
famed singer Harry Belafonte.

When the photo of Trudeau was revealed in 2019, Andrew Scheer, the
Conservative party leader, reacted, "I was extremely shocked and disappointed
when I learned of Justin Trudeau's actions. Wearing brownface is an act of
open mockery. It was just as racist in 2001 as it is in 2019. What Canadians
saw this evening was someone with a complete lack of judgment and someone who
is not fit to govern this country," the National Post reported.

Social media reacted to Trudeau's celebratory tweet:

"Gaslighting racist! You dress in blackface. You grope women. You fire
indigenous women. You implement racist vaccine policies. YOU ARE THE RACIST,"
one user tweeted.

The tweet about firing indigenous women referenced Jody Wilson-Raybould,
Canada's first indigenous attorney general and minister of justice. It had
been reported that Trudeau's office had attempted to force her to help a
construction company avoid a corruption trial.

In her book, "'Indian' in the Cabinet: Speaking Truth to Power," Wilson-
Raybould wrote of a meeting with Trudeau three days after the front-page
story in The Globe and Mail broke.

As soon as the story broke, the Prime Minister said that "the
allegations in The Globe story this morning are false. Neither
the current nor the previous attorney-general was ever directed
by me or by anyone in my office to take a decision in this matter."

At a second meeting, she recalled, "He asked if I trusted him. He also asked
if I trusted his judgment to build a team. ... 'I want to believe in you and
trust in you,' I replied. 'But it is hard to separate the two questions. I do
not trust the people around you any longer.'"

"I could see the agitation visibly building in the Prime Minister," she
continued. "His mood was shifting. I remember seeing it. I remember feeling
it. I had seen and felt this before on a few occasions, when he would get
frustrated and angry. But this was different. He became strident and disputed
everything I had said. He made it clear that everyone in his office was
telling the truth and that I, and by extension Jessica Prince, my chief of
staff, and others, were not. He told me I had not experienced what I said I
did. He used the line that would later become public, that I had 'experienced
things differently.'"

"I knew what he was really asking," she wrote. "What he was saying. In that
moment, I knew he wanted me to lie - to attest that what had occurred had not
occurred."

I don't think we've gone even one year without seeing him prancing in
one of the big Gay Pride parades. He can't seem to get enough of them!
The MSM never seems to tire of filming him at those parades.

Somebody needs to inform Trudeau that the whole point of being a 'drag
queen' is that you're NOT trans-gender and that therefore "herstory"
(as opposed to history) is inappropriate. (I don't think it's
appropriate to create words out of thin air anyhow but that's a
different issue)

"the painful history of slavery in Canada"? Uh that was ended with the
British conquest of New France and never really got started in the
colonies that became Canada. If discussing that is "painful" now,
should not Canadians celebrate "their" role in the Underground
Railroad?

Hmmm first I heard that he was "channelling" Belafonte. He certainly
didn't resemble him in the blackface pictures I've seen of Trudeau.

Pierre Trudeau was supposed to have had a personal net worth of $15
million (mostly inherited from his father who had a Quebec based chain
of gas stations way back when) when he was prime minister in the late
60s / early 70s.

https://caknowledge.com/justin-trudeau-net-worth/ claims Justin has a
personal net worth of $ 85 million which given he was one of his
father's 3 sons is quite a good rate of return over 50 or so years.

Have just taken that book out from our local library. May have things
to say on it when I get to it. No question her father (now largely
retired) had a major reputation as a firebrand in BC in his heyday.

He's still alive and they are said to be close.

I _HATE_ that word, "herstory" for so many reasons.
