OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he's taking an optimistic approach after Europeans made a lurch to the far-right in continental elections that could impact Canada's trade and climate policies.
Hurrelmann said countries like Italy and Austria also saw strong growth in support for parties that were previously deemed fringe, but have recently struck a more moderate tone. The results are influenced by unique factors in each country, Hurrelmann said, and he argued the high support in France and Germany amount to a protest vote against those two governments.
But Hurrelmann said growing populism could see a more insular approach from Europe, particularly if American voters return Donald Trump to the White House on promises to disregard global rules and institutions. On Monday, Trudeau reacted to the results in France, noting that"a rise of populist right-wing forces" is occurring in most democracies.
The Conservatives have repeatedly argued that rising frustration in Canada is the result of Liberal policies that they say have caused economic problems.
