    Yeah, bad economic news leads people to wanting change, regardless of its rationality. If the economy and inflation turn around, things could change dramatically. Small things like rebranding the Carbon Rebate might help a lot, too. People will hopefully be a lot less accepting of PP’s plan to remove Carbon Pricing when they lose out on hundreds of dollars every quarter (and the world burns in the summer, and all the BC fruit dies in cold snaps).

    The US Election might scare people away from conservatism a bit, too, depending how their descent into fascism goes… one can only hope.
