The photo, taken at an 'Arabian Nights' costume party and published in Justin Trudeau's school yearbook, marks a blow to his election campaign
OTTAWA—Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized Wednesday after the publication of a photo from nearly two decades ago in which he appeared at a costume party wearing brownface, saying he is disappointed in himself.
The photo was taken in 2001, while he was teaching in Vancouver, at his school’s annual dinner, which had a costume theme of “Arabian Nights.” He said he attended with friends and colleagues dressed as a character from “Aladdin,” with makeup on. He was 29 years old at the time.
