The status quo was treating people differently depending on their identity. Disruption was treating all individuals the same regardless of their identity. And those movements would never had gained traction and public support if Canada wasn't already a society with liberal values embedded in it. There's a reason all of these movements succeeded first in Canada, the UK, and Sweden, rather than in Egypt, China, and India.
