You'd definitely find some people criticizing a wholesale removal of the carbon tax, which is a polarizing topic to be sure... but what Carney did was not a wholesale removal -- just the removal of the consumer portion (thankfully, as the industrial carbon tax is necessary to keep foreign trade with the EU intact).
Even the GST reduction for homes under $1m was also not a 1:1 implementation as proposed by PP, since it only applies to qualified 'first-time' home buyers. PP's was a blanket suspending of GST on properties under $1m, which could have been exploited by developers allowing the buying up of properties that much cheaper. And he definitely took heat for his awful 'AXE THE TAX' sloganeering. But I don't recall hearing criticism of the policy specifically.
So even where the policies are very similar on the face of it, they've been shored up in some thoughtful ways that make them better.
