Trudeauism
Is this really the best or most common or most neutral term for this class of federalists?
Google searches:
- trudeauism: 54 hits

- trudeauist: 27 hits
- trudeauiste (restricted to French pages): 186 hits
Quickly scanning through the hits, it seems these terms are used quite differently in English and in French. In English, they are terms of abuse hurled by right-wingers against left-wingers, and they are used when discussing economics, not national unity. In French, they are terms of abuse hurled by sovereigntists against federalists, with little regard to where their opponents sit on the federalist continuum.
It is also interesting (but admittedly not really relevant) that Trudeau himself was not a trudeauist according to the definition given here.
