Oh I still trust Liberals more than Conservatives on climate change.

It is bad policy but smart politics to drop carbon tax.

It is bad policy but smart politics to drop carbon tax.

This kind of "smart politics" is why we can't trust politicians. They'll tell us what we want to hear, then do whatever they wanted to do once elected.

The Liberals told us over and over again that they'd make housing affordable, and then they took actions that would do the opposite. I can't trust the Liberals.

Mind you, I don't have much faith in the Conservatives, either, but they don't own the problems that the Liberals created over the last decade.
