Reading this article, I was unsure of the meaning of 鈥減opulism鈥 and the prime minister鈥檚 concerns. I Googled populism and was informed that it is the support for the concerns of ordinary people.

Asking myself why the prime minister of sa国际传媒 would have concerns with this, I looked a bit further and found that 鈥減opulism鈥 is an ideology that presents 鈥渢he people鈥 as a morally good force against the 鈥渆lite,鈥 who are perceived as corrupt and self-serving. OK, that puts things into perspective, for me.

I think Justin Trudeau is indeed fortunate to be prime minister of a country where the citizens do as they are told. It will be interesting to see where he resurfaces after losing the next election.
