Canada: Polls Show Conservatives Beating Justin Trudeau After Blackface Scandal

Breitbart:

Polls published this weekend following the revelation Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has enjoyed wearing blackface on multiple occasions show the Conservative Party with a slight lead in a tight race that had until now was anyone’s to win.

Trudeau appears to have lost a significant number of voters to the left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP), rather than the conservatives, but the loss has improved the Conservatives’ position heading into the October 21 election.

A poll released Saturday by Nanos Research, sponsored in part by Canada’s Globe and Mail, found conservatives with 36.8 percent of the vote, nearly five points ahead of the liberals at 32 percent, the largest gap between the two parties since Canada allowed them to legally begin campaigning in mid-September. The NDP stands currently at 14 percent.

Respondents were polled beginning on September 18, the day that Time magazine published an image of Trudeau in black body paint and a giant turban at an “Arabian Nights” theme party in 2001, when he was 29 years old. By the morning of September 19, various media outlets had published two photos of Trudeau in blackface on separate occasions and an undated video of him in blackface wearing an afro wig.

“The next few days will be critical to Trudeau as he attempts to stop the trend which favors the Conservatives,” Nik Nanos, the founder of Nanos Research, told the Globe and Mail. “At the same time, expect Canadians to focus more on Scheer as a potential prime minister.”

The Liberals’ very slight lead against the conservatives “evaporated almost overnight,” Frank Graves of EKOS Research told Reuters on Monday. read more

  1. “Brownface”…. that’s Presstitute-speak for Blackface when the person accused carries the water for a common agenda.
    Not on outlet is calling it out for what it is.

  2. Old photos of Trudeau in blackface is a trivial reason IMO to throw him out of office. It’s Trudeau’s other positions that are truly terrible ideas that ought to be the major reasons to send him away, ASAP .

    Just apply the Pareto Principle, aka the 80/20 rule. 20% of his foolish dangerous ideas ought to account for 80% of the true reasons he is unworthy of public support.

  3. The local Communist Broadcasting Corporation are telling everyone its too close to call in order to discourage people from voting Conservative.

    I hope the conservatives get in and severely cut CBC budget.

  4. I’m concerned that the lead that the Conservatives have over the Liberals is a slight 5% when it should have been in the double digits after the scandals that Trudeau has caused. It won’t take much of a shift for the Liberals to regain power with a minority and the NDP pulling the their strings at which point kiss the country goodbye.
