Trudeau is terrified by the fact that populism is taking root in Canada and giving ordinary people a voice.
He ignores the fact that he and the Liberals have driven Canada into the gutter. Populism is only a reaction to our elites who have lost the plot.

It's funny that a guy who has spent the last 7 years race-baiting, dividing Canadians and evading parliamentary procedure to get what he wants is accusing a grassroots working-class movement of trying to exploit people. Trudeau is a case study on projection.
Liberals always try to portray themselves as the protectors of "democracy" when in reality they are the manipulators of democracy. If you haven't noticed, things have actually gotten less democratic in the last century due to the influence of powerful wealthy oligarchs.
In Canada, elites have ignored most of the country to cater to their own Laurentian concerns to the detriment of other regions. It's no surprise that people are turning to a political movement that offers to give them a voice and it's no surprise Trudeau is threatened by that.
A political divide between the people and the elites has existed since time immemorial and it flares up when the ruling class loses the moral authority to govern – a time such as now. It's quite simple, people feel as though their representatives are not in fact representing them
Populism is the most simple and natural form of politics because it correctly identifies the broad class distinction that people experience in their ordinary lives. It's also why it's so effective: because it's impossible to deny such a divide doesn't exist.
Also of course populism is "cynical" in nature. Are people supposed to be happy they're paying over $1.70 a litre at the pump while him and his cronies jet-set all over Europe on the taxpayer's dime every month?
