Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the perfect 21st-century progressive politician: illiberal and smug, antagonistic toward Judeo-Christian faith and values, and a self-styled technocrat whose best-laid plans failed.

Like so many other North American and European heirs of the radical ’60s, Trudeau had more neo-liberal economics than his Marxist forebears, but he had the same zeal for culture war. More importantly, he showed the Marxists’ top-down intolerance of dissent and antipathy toward rival sources of cultural, political, and economic power.
