As far as the Liberals and whether they should continue defending a policy that everyone hates, it’s amusing. I understand that the entire CPC campaign was “axe the tax” and “we hate Trudeau”, so with both of those things gone there isn’t much to campaign on. But that’s politics.

The CPC honestly doesn't have to do much anymore in terms of convincing, the Liberals are doing it for them. Making this about the CPC and losing their campaign slogans, this has never been about the CPC.
Let's put it in another way. Who gets a bump in polls if Freeland is bashing her party leader and the carbon tax on national TV?
What good does Freeland do when she says “axe the tax” and “we hate Trudeau” today but stood with him for 9 years? It's part of her own record. People will just go to the person who said the same things 2 years ago, instead of the person that was defending the carbon tax and Trudeau just 2 months ago.
Remove the party names for a second and political affiliation (as this seems to cloud some folks). Instead you have two parties, one that is the challenger saying the current government is inept and they will change things, and one that is the incumbent saying the same things the challenger is. If all else is equal, who would you go for? The party that is being called inept by both parties?
CPC just have to replay older clips of Freeland and Carney talking against themselves.
