Zero tolerance. Zero forgiveness.

Said Trudeau himself: “The statement made by our former candidate in Burnaby South was unacceptable and was not representative of the kinds of politics I put forward, certainly the kind of politics that our team focus on. One understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths as a country. Those statements were not in keeping with what the Liberal Party stands for and certainly that is why the individual is no longer a part of our team.”

Had Karen Wang dressed up in blackface in the past, perhaps Trudeau would have given her the same consideration he has given himself?

He and his smug group of double-standard hypocrites left that woman for political roadkill when they knew it was more of a lost-in-translation moment from a candidate just trying to win for them.

It devastated Wang, who had reporters trying to get her kids to dish dirt on her and saw the town librarian chase her out of the parking lot as a racist as she tried to defend herself with reporters.

With a new baby, she has so far not weighed in this latest episode, but at the time this was a body blow to immigrant women feeling “abused” by Trudeau.

“It really hurt me,” said Wang.

“The Prime Minister knows I am a good woman who loves this country’s diversity, and is an example of the Canadian dream.”

And now Wang knows that when he was holding her to that standard, he himself had a long background of not holding himself to it.

When he’s on his apology tour for the rest of this election campaign — if he has one ounce of decency — Trudeau should take a minute and offer one to the woman he threw under the bus.
