Justin Trudeau Political Career

Prime Minister of Canada

On November 4, 2015, Trudeau and the rest of the Cabinet were sworn in by Governor General David Johnston. He said that his first legislative priority was to lower taxes for middle-income Canadians and raise taxes for the top one percent of income earners after parliament was reconvened on December 3, 2015. Trudeau also issued a statement promising to rebuild relations with indigenous people and run an open, ethical and transparent government.

On November 5, 2015, during the first Liberal caucus meeting since forming a majority government, the party announced that it would reinstate the mandatory long-form census that had been scrapped in 2010, effective with the 2016 census.

In January 2017, Canada’s Ethics Commissioner, Mary Dawson, began an investigation into Trudeau for a vacation he and his family took to Aga Khan IV’s private island in the Bahamas. The Ethics Commissioner’s report, released in December 2017, found that Trudeau had violated four provisions of the Conflict of Interest Act. He became the first sitting prime minister to break federal conflict of interest rules.

In February 2018, Trudeau was criticized when his administration invited Khalistani nationalist Jaspal Atwal to the Canadian High Commission’s dinner party in Delhi. Atwal had previously been convicted for the shooting and attempted murder of Indian Cabinet Minister Malkiat Singh Sidhu in 1986, as well as the assault on former B.C. Premier Ujjal Dosanjh in 1985. Following the dinner, the PMO rescinded the invitation and apologized for the incident.

2019 federal election

On September 11, 2019, Trudeau visited the Governor-General, Julie Payette to request the dissolution of Parliament the act which launches an election. Previously before the formal start of the election, he announced his intention to only participate in the three leaders’ debates, two organized by the Leaders’ Debates Commission, and one organized by TVA.

Controversial pictures and videos were published in September 2019 showing Trudeau in brownface and blackface. On the 18th, that same month, Time magazine published a photograph of Trudeau wearing brownface makeup in the spring of 2001, at an Arabian Nights-themed gala, while Trudeau was a teacher at West Point Grey Academy.

Trudeau publicly apologized and agreed the photo was racist and stated: “I shouldn’t have done that. I should have known better and I didn’t. I’m really sorry. It was something that I didn’t think was racist at the time, but now I recognize it was something racist to do”.

Furthermore, he admitted to wearing blackface makeup in high school while singing “Day-O” at a talent show that was subsequently published by Global News. A third instance, a video, of Trudeau in racist dress was also published. After this video was published, Trudeau admitted he could not remember how often he had worn blackface makeup.

Women’s rights

Trudeau identifies as a feminist. He has stated, “I am a feminist. I’m proud to be a feminist.” He has also stated that “the Liberal Party is unequivocal in its defense of women’s rights. We are the party of the Charter.” After being sworn in as Prime Minister, when asked by a reporter why he felt gender parity was important when naming his cabinet, he replied simply, “Because it’s 2015.” More recently, he has similarly answered to feminist organizations on social media that “On behalf of the Government of Canada, I am writing back to let you know that I wholeheartedly agree: Poverty is Sexist”.
