Both I think - the two weaknesses the elites have is that the party of Davos might control everything from politicians to the media but they have to rely on these completely incompetent local governors like Trudeau or Ardern or Johnson. Just as our civilisation has declined so have many of our politicians. Boris is quite a high performer in terms of his verbal ability but is in the bottom 10% in parliament in terms of intelligence - he resorts to bluster and insults when he doesn't know. He got into Eton because his family was wealthy not because he was intelligent.
50 years ago we had primeministers who had been to grammar school which you only got into if you passed the 11+. Margret Thatcher went to a selective girls school. You learned latin and classics along with your conventional academic education. Politicians today? Most of them are products of ideological indoctrination and are only trained in the methods of the managerial elite who view the whole world through the abstraction of spreadsheets, statistical modelling but don't necessarily know what is actually going on.
I see this where I work in manufacturing. Management don't have a clue if its not on a spreadsheet and the line isn't going up. We had an engineer who lead them around by the nose for 4 years with a fake spreadsheet where he showed savings in manpower every week even though most of us knew it was bullshit. The guy who worked it out was a temp who had worked selling double glazing before coming to work in the automotive industry as an assistant production manager - they basically employed him because he was a bully to get control of overtime and he basically took this guy apart. Management were stunned.
They must be pretty certain that the right will never take power in Canada. That or they have zero foresight whatsoever.
