OTTAWA — Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is once again finding himself at the center of controversy after he made an appearance in what appeared to be blackface again. Trudeau maintains, however, that the black pigment on his face is just ash from all the wildfire smoke.

“Stop laughing, guys, this is just ashes and stuff! I definitely didn’t spread a large amount of it on my face in solidarity with BIPOC men and womxn,” said the stammering Prime Minister. “I would never do something like that, because I’m not a racist. I’m an anti-racist. Word to your mother.”
