As much as Liberals, or even liberals, may think he's a joke, it appears that most Canadians now don't. The vision he has for and of Canada-as a consumerist, sectarian, egocentric place-may be uncomfortable for progressives to accept, but for months, Canadians of all ages and most demographics have told pollsters at every opportunity that this is what they want, or at least they like the sound of it.
If anyone's thinking that all the Liberals need is a po-faced technocrat to carefully explain policy to everyone-y'know, someone actually "serious" and ultimately safe-it's time to stop thinking that. No managers. No highbrows. No elites. This is not the contrast Canadians are looking for against Poilievre.
Justin Trudeau has now learned that the hard way, having pivoted from a rolled-sleeves establishment figure, backed by a team of smarty-pants ministers, to a man huddled in the cold outside Rideau Cottage alone, explaining the next bit of federal pandemic policy.
