Photos from 2016 Sinterklaas celebrations included Black Peter characters, some in traditional blackface makeup. The Conservative Party confirmed Cloverdale-91原创 City candidate Tamara Jansen鈥檚 family rented a greenhouse for one event, and she attended.

Dear Editor,

Replying to D. Johnson, 91原创, 鈥淏lackface鈥� [Candidate scarce, 91原创 Advance Times, Oct. 16].

It is totally different what Justin Trudeau did than what Tamara Jansen did. Tamara Jansen didn鈥檛 put on the paint like Justin Trudeau did, and Tamara didn鈥檛 organize the blackface event, she just happened to be at a blackface event that she didn鈥檛 know was going to be there.

I know Tamara Jansen and she is one of the nicest people I know.

Justin Trudeau even said he was a racist for wearing blackface.

Dean Clark, 91原创
