Like, you don’t even want to pretend to think for yourself here? Just, PP forced the Liberals to change the carbon tax because he made it unpopular by telling his followers how to think?
I’m not sure relying on ad populum after crediting PP as the source of your and his supporters thoughts and feelings is really doing the work you think it’s doing.

The altering of the carbon tax is merely an example. Do you think that Carney altering the carbon tax a month before the election had nothing to do with the fact that his opponent was lobbying hard against it? Let’s keep in mind that historically Carney was in favour of such a tax.
But again merely an example.
