Two more pictures have emerged of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wearing racist ‘brownface’ make up as he campaigns for re-election.

The photographs were dug up just hours after the PM was forced to apologise for a photo which showed him with a darkened face at an Arabian nights costume party in 2001.

One of the new images was taken as he performed a version of Harry Belafonte’s ‘Banana Boat Song (Day-O)’ during a talent show at Jean Brebeuf High School in Quebec, which he graduated from in the early 1990s.

Global News also broadcast a brief video of Trudeau in ‘brownface’ while raising his hands in the air and sticking out his tongue.




It is not clear when the tape was made but the outlet confirmed from a member of Trudeau’s Liberal campaign that it was the prime minister.

Trudeau, 47, is facing a serious challenge from Conservative leader Andrew Scheer in the October 21 election.

Speaking to reporters on the campaign trail, Trudeau said: ‘I should have known better then, but I didn’t, and I am deeply sorry for it.

‘I’m going to ask Canadians to forgive me for what I did.

‘I shouldn’t have done that. I take responsibility for it.

‘It was a dumb thing to do.’

He acknowledged that he had ‘always been more enthusiastic about costumes than is sometimes appropriate’.

The first picture to emerge was taken at West Point Grey Academy, a private school in British Columbia where Mr Trudeau worked as a teacher before entering politics.

It depicts him wearing a turban and robe, with dark makeup on his hands, face and neck.

Andrew Scheer, the opposition Conservative leader, said brownface was racist in 2001 and 2019.

He said: ‘What Canadians saw this evening was someone with a complete lack of judgment and integrity and someone who is not fit to govern this country.’

Leftist New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh, a Sikh who wears a turban, said: ‘It is insulting.

‘Any time we hear examples of brownface or blackface it’s making a mockery of someone for what they live, for what their lived experiences are.

I think he has to answer for it.’

Trudeau has faced another scandal after his former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould accused him of pressuring her to halt the prosecution of a company in Quebec.
