In September, it was old pictures of the Canadian prime minister in blackface that got him in trouble during the election campaign. The Instagram post, which offered few details, got dozens of comments along the lines of “We need answers about the beard,” and the hashtag #trudeaubeard trended on Twitter in Canada with thousands of posts.
His office did not immediately respond to queries on Tuesday about the beard’s provenance or whether Trudeau, 48, plans to keep it.
