Justin Trudeau is the “poster boy" for privilege. A symbol that we're ruled by a particular class. He's now the prime minister of Canada, only because he comes from an enormously wealthy family and political dynasty. Some people's parents pass down heirlooms. Justin's dad figuratively handed him leadership of the Liberal party, and through that a place as the prime minister of Canada, despite Justin having basically no background in politics. His new position is his birthright, his inheritance as a member of the ruling class.
Another example of the power that is in Trudeau's family, is Justin's grandfather, James Sinclair. This excerpt from Sinclair's Wikipedia page highlights quite well the place that their family has in the ruling class:
“He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons representing the riding of Vancouver North in the 1940 federal election. A Liberal, he was re-elected in 1945 in the riding of Vancouver North, and in 1949, 1953, and 1957 in the riding of Coast-Capilano. He was defeated in the 1958 federal election. From 1949 to 1952, he was the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Finance. From 1952 to 1957, he was the Minister of Fisheries.
From 1958 to 1960, he was the President of Fisheries Association of British Columbia. From 1960 to 1970, he was President and Chairman of Lafarge Cement of North America. From 1970 to 1973, he was Deputy Chairman of Canada Cement Lafarge Limited."(

Furthermore, by voting in the Liberal Party yesterday, Canadians continued a nearly 148 year old pattern in Canadian politics, where power is held either by the Conservatives or the Liberals. The political pendulum has swung back and forth between these two parties (and their historical predecessors) since 1867, with the exception of the basically conversative Unionist Party being elected in 1917.(
