It is notable, though, that the right are increasingly turning to economic populism in a rhetorical sense (even if concrete actions are a bit thinner on the ground) Which leaves centrist types (in various parties) as the main ones still uncritically defending globalisation.

O'Toole seems to be a 21st century version of John Diefenbaker.

That is quite a claim tbh, bit too soon to say that IMO.

^^ I don't think Trudeau is too worried about holding off on an election until there's a vaccine. Several provincial governments held elections during the pandemic (including BC the most opportunistic of them all) and none were punished by the voters.

I think the Liberals wouldn't mind going to an election tomorrow if it were up to them but they don't want to be seen as being opportunistic considering the polls have them in majority territory but not comfortably in majority territory as was the case in the spring/early summer before the WE scandal so there isn't a whole lot of margin of error.

Yes, surely the way the last GE campaign went will make them a bit cautious as well?
