Conservatives won’t be taking advice from “so-called experts” when it comes to carbon pricing, the party said in a statement Wednesday after more than 200 economists signed an open letter challenging leader Pierre Poilievre’s stance.
Instead, the party is pledging to listen to the “common sense of the common people.”
“Common sense Conservatives will listen the common sense of the common people, not Justin Trudeau’s so-called ‘experts,’” Sebastian Skamski, a spokesperson for Poilievre, said in a statement Wednesday.
A Common Sense Explainer:
There are common sense known knowns, things we know common sensically that we know ; and there are common sense known unknowns, things that we common sensically know we don’t know .But there are also, using common sense, unknown unknowns, things we do not know we don’t know .If you have any common sense!
“There are known knowns, things we know that we know; and there are known unknowns, things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns, things we do not know we don’t know.”
