The anti-science, anti-evidence based practices, anti-data gathering approach of the conservative government is terrible and the reason I can't vote for them.
If you don't want to cut greenhouse gas emissions make an economic argument and live with it. Don't cut research into and deny it exists.
If you don't want to fund the poor just come out and blame them for being poor, it plays well to your base. Don't cancel the long form census so no one has the data.
Safe injection sites work, just listen to research or at least throw up some poorly done counter research to justify your stance.
But the conservatives refusal to trust basic research and science is shocking and so despite the economic benefits I think the risk of undermining the systems by which the government makes decisions and replacing it with truthyness is certainly more dangerous than treadeau and maybe even more dangerous than Muclair.
