Trudeau and non-populism have three years before the next election; in the meantime, the populists will wreak so much havoc  that Canada will be the shining beacon pointing to an alternative. The political pendulum in Canada has been swinging out of sync with the rest of the world in recent years. Many of the things the populists are now doing were tried by Stephen Harper, and Canadians booted him out for that.  Trudeau has actually been quite adept at picking up better ideas which the populists also espouse, such as an increased child benefit, while the Canadian public has already rejected the populists' xenophobia.  The years of Harper have inoculated Canada against the populist disease.
