Cultural protection and the questions of global capitalism in regards to the developed nation worker's cannot be expressed as a skit. It requires a deep thinker or as in Trump's case, a lot of experience and a altruist assertion. Especially in Canada which I believe is why The Rebel and Leitch failed. To mimic Trump up here is not how to sell the same message. To his credit, Harper was the ONLY one I've ever seen to successfully sell bits of cultural protection ever if he was fully on board with the multinationalists. 
Social conservatism in an age of weakened borders and assimilation problems is all but a joke which leaves Sheer in no man's land. And to try to compete with Trudeau (who is moving centre more) in a personality contest is surely doomed from the start. 
We don't have a populist movement up here and we may never. But to assert the progressive status quo with all it's unintended consequences by shooting down the free speech dissenters amounts to nothing but utter loathe.
