Parkdale-High Park MP Arif Virani criticized a public school teacher in his riding who wore blackface to his class, calling this an act of "intolerance."

"Halloween is a time of celebration—not a time for intolerance. The wearing of Blackface by a teacher at Parkdale CI is simply unacceptable. We need a prompt investigation by the TDSB and our community needs to see prompt accountability," said Virani in a tweet published on Monday.

"To the students who had the courage to speak up, know that we stand with you: Fighting Anti-Black racism is all of our responsibility," he concluded.

What kind of accountability is appropriate? Becoming the next prime minister?

Yes. Members of Team Trudeau take racism against the Blacks (and I assume LatinX) very seriously.*

*people named "Trudeau" are of course exempt from this policy
