Abstract
The article examines the current state of Canada’s political system from the perspective of the right-wing populism development. Right-wing populism has become a relatively new phenomenon in the Canadian political process, quickly gaining a foothold in the party system as the People’s Party of Canada, as well as the regional social movements and parties. Since the 2021 elections, right-wing populism is still on the Canadian agenda, influencing the Canadian traditional “catch-all” parties, the Liberal Party of Canada and the Conservative Party. Based on the latest development trends in Canada, the internal reasons for the amplifying distrust of the federal authorities and the established status quo, the paper analyzes the correlation with the growth of right-wing populism, the emergence of populist politicians or the politicians using populist rhetoric within the Conservative Party. The points of growth of right-wing populism have been identified and an attempt has been made to forecast its prospects on the eve of the 2025 Parliamentary elections.
