The greatest trick Canada ever played was convincing everyone they weren't always like this.
All those Keysers, eh?
Oh, it was certainly always there. It was the same as with the US: events simply needed to occur to allow people to feel permission to express their inner...uh...non-conformances. If people become convinced (rightly or wrongly) that their society is worthless and heading in the wrong direction they will start acting on their base impulses eventually. Trump didn't create that (I would argue it's been building as we've societally forgotten the lessons of WW2) but he threw gas on it.
