Under Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Party embraces classical liberalism, while Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney’s Liberal Party embraces technocratic progressivism.

What does this mean for the future of liberalism in Canada? Explore the strategic implications of this ideological realignment and discover how it reflects deeper civilizational choices about the role of the state and societal resilience.
