Well, that didn’t take long. After intense focus on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s three blackface photos last week, many in the media are back spouting Liberal talking points. The Liberal campaign, tired of being on the defensive, quickly reverted to painting Conservatives as bigoted cretins and to frenzied promises that would leave our children indebted for untold billions.
