Still a shockingly stupid choice. I can’t imagine how he could be so tone deaf…

1st action - cancels Carbon Rebate - so put money directly into the pockets of most Canadians - because that's how it worked. The rebate for most was...
...revenue neutral or a benefit. And at least it was an attempt to mitigate environmental crisis (if really theatre.)
2nd action - cancels changes to Capital Gains Tax - so refuses to tax wealthiest 10%, encourage even more wealth accumulation through things like profits from housing/real estate...
More generally - since beginning of career at Goldman Sachs 1990 everything he has done/championed/designed/recommended has made lower income/middle class people poorer and wealthiest people/corporations richer. For 35 years.
Seems like plenty of specific actions and directives to draw conclusions
Slow walking with your head in the clouds or plummeting off the cliff at 100 mph with either option still only having an apocalypse/abject ruination as the landing zone still eventually gets you to the exact same place in the end.

Or another one of those sayings?
Actions speak louder than words.
We get the leaders we deserve.
