What do people think Trudeau focus on political correctness will just fuel populists like Doug Ford.

Which is unfortunate because the opposite of nonsense isn't more nonsense.
One thing that really upsets me about the Trudeau liberals is that they are pretty much laying the perfect foundation for a Trump Lite to get elected in Canada in the 2020s.
The liberals have gone from governing from the centre to the far left (optically) and are being supported by millennial and minority voters. When Trudeau finally leaves, that support for the Liberals will not translate over to the next leader fully.
Add in that many white voters especially outside of big cities will likely be fueled by fake news and false narratives...
I think its a perfect situation for a populist to win in Canada in the 2020s.
I hope i am wrong but I predicted a Trump-like figure in the states in 2014... I was only wrong that he would appear in 2016 and not in 2020.

But I thought you, a female minority from outside the city, were super excited to cast your vote and see the great populist Mr. Ford elected premier?! Sometimes I'm easily confused.
With Doug Ford steering the Ontario PC's to the populist right, and likely to power in June, do you anticipate Andrew Scheer following his playbook? Scheer and Ford have a similar base and likely agree on most things policy, but Scheer's image is still more small 'c' conservative, polite, dad-like, in a Stephen Harper sort-of-way. Does a 'stop the gravy train, folks' movement come to Parliament Hill?
It is more an example of how far left Wynne and Trudeau are going pretty much giving many moderates no option but to go to the right.
Trudeau poll numbers have gone down mostly from male moderates fleeing to the Tories.
True. Plus the fact that as a tenured professor of psychology - a serious academic discipline as opposed to, say, communications studies or gender studies - Peterson is actually a real scholar. Most of his critics, not so much.People wonder why people like Jordan Peterson get so famous as they don't have much substance behind what they say.
Well you have people like the federal liberals in charge and it's rather easy why people listen to Peterson as he sounds like a scholar in comparison to these people.
It's either a science (even if based on a spiritual understanding of the world) or it's religion.
