How do these idiots not get that this is a bad move at the time regardless of what career choice they would make in the future? At least I can somewhat understand someone doing it in 1967 or whatever, but 2001?

I am extremely disappointed he'd be stupid enough to do this.

And scared it's going to hurt him and the party. It won't change how I vote. It was 18 years ago and I don't believe he is an inherently racist person. Whereas I know Scheer is a homophobic person and more. I will be curious how he responds to this and that could change things more.

What he did is not ok.

Its not like anyone who really takes issue would see any sense voting for Scheer let alone Bernier. I doubt this matters. His current troubles are more significant by far tbh but still hes the best of a bad lot.

I think it'll be a knock. With a month there might be time to recover, but it's a bad look, even 18 years ago, when he's leading the country. If he screws up the response it could lead to a Conservative government (ugh!).

So, maybe I'm missing something, but it was a themed party and Canada doesn't have the same connotation of slavery that America does. So why is this such a big deal?

I fucking hate Trudeau btw but I still don't see why this gives anyone any ammunition.

Scheer is so bad I cant imagine them getting more than a minority government. If the green momentum actually pans out in seats this time the libs could easily end up on the wrong side of that but I doubt the ndp edges them out. Singh is fine but he is awful at raising his profile and really making himself relevant.

The ndp being a legit third party died with Layton.

20 years ago it was probably still a bad idea.

if anybody did that at any costume party i went to it would have caused some behind the back shit talking.

Dude like everyone was complicit in the atrocity that is slavery. No one seems to know indigenous tribes had slaves. You never hear about the people back in Africa who were complicit and profited.

Its seriously so unimaginably bad and was so widespread and accepted. I wouldve died in no time as a slave. I literally couldnt have done it.

I honestly don't know much about Canada's history or politics so that is very surprising to hear.

We can always hope.

Our politics are insane. If the left vote was dominated by a single party the way the right is the cons would be so hard pressed to win a single except every so often if someone really fucked to and out of a desperate want for change.

They have a huge advantage right now (you literally pretty much have to be an open racist to vote Bernier) but its only cause the libs have been so meh for so long (to say the least) and the ndp has just never been able to gain the necessary ground to stand out.

Weve done a lot of horrible shit like everyone else including up until the last few decades. Its weird how little known it is but yeah it is depressing.

He was a 30 year old school teacher. This isn't some sort of high school prank or drunken frat gimmick. This is a fully grown adult.

he is also racist to asians. he spread a lie that some asian people tore off a muslim girl's head scarf

and his fans called the asians who said they were offended "white supremacists" when they dared to complain

also ironically I have heard rumors that his father used to ride through canada on a motorcycle that had a nazi flag on it, during the 40's

I don't think it destroys his platform. I just think it cedes the moral high ground. I'm all for shrugging this off and saying that "it doesn't matter, who cares." But somebody just got fired from SNL for saying a racist word a decade ago. Do these things matter, or do they not?
