Pretty vacuous piece. You don't give any real suggestions on "how Canada can avoid a Trump-esque fate". The social justice stuff about "we will march and organize – for children’s rights, for reproductive rights, for LGBTQ rights, …" is nice, but it's preaching to the choir—that wasn't enough to stop the Obama coalition switching to Trump, and there's no reason to think it will be sufficient in Canada either. You mention economic issues only once, briefly:

"Claims of Canadian exceptionalism fail to see the similarities between the anxieties of unemployed workers in Alberta, and those in Michigan."

but never expand on it. The working class is facing a decline of manufacturing jobs as a result of automation and globalization; narrowing prospects of a middle-class life without a university education; opioid abuse devastating their communities; and a growing sense of resentment towards the elites, who call them rednecks, racists, or hillbillies.
