“Donald Trump’s return to the White House represented a significant victory for the sort of illiberal, far-right politics gaining strength around the world. In Canada, Trump’s election has had the opposite effect, and on Monday a party headed by a right-wing populist candidate lost our federal election. This is welcome news, but it’s too early to conclude that illiberal populism has faltered more broadly in Canada — if for no other reason than because the resentment over the failure of the governing Liberal Party to address systemic problems affecting ordinary Canadians remains widespread.” (05/01/25)
