Thanks to economic stagnation, the hyper concentration of wealth, and a brewing cultural backlash, Canada’s political climate is ripe for populist forces that mirror the experiences of the U.S. and the U.K. to gain traction, says Frank Graves of EKOS Research. But other politicos disagree.

'This particular phenomenon has never expressed itself in Canada [until now]. The differences across the people who are attracted to ordered or authoritarian populism and everybody else are on a scale that we haven’t seen in the past,' says EKOS pollster Frank Graves.
