I watched the presser, and while Premier @jkenney didn't say it exactly like this, it was close enough, and I have a lot of thoughts. Buckle in. #ableg#abpoli#cdnpoli /1

Every time instances of racism rears its heads these days, I find myself less and less stunned. I don't have a more coherent response to this instance of brownface by Justin Trudeau compared to what has already been said by many apt and intelligent POC colleagues already.
