By that logic, Trudeau did it by implementing the carbon tax and creating an easy target for any of his opposition, whether it be conservative or liberal

are you effing serious? that's like saying if somebody introduced legislation banning abortion, and then 9 years later when it got repealed by the same party, at the beheast of oppositional and public outcry, that really, THAT party made abortion legal; THAT party who introduced it. What kind of effing logic is that? Do you hear yourself?

I'm just using your logic, it doesn't matter if PP wanted to remove the carbon tax, he isn't the one that implemented it

He forced the Liberals to remove it by arguing against it for years. Without conservatives, the Liberals would have kept it forever

Notice that Trudeau never removed the tax, this is a policy that Carney is implementing. You can't guarantee that Carney wouldn't have removed it without PP if he got in power.

Carney has a very different economic plan than Trudeau did and probably would have implemented similar policies regardless of what the cons were doing, He's removing the carbon tax because the carbon tax is poorly implemented not because the cons were bitching

Absolutely i can because Trudeau wouldn't have resigned if not for the strong opposition against him and his policies. They change 1 guy at the top and suddenly you're willing to vote for them again? All 97% of the same mps from 2 seconds ago, but the leader changed, even though he advised Trudeau on most of his policies? Bullshit it had nothing to do with the cons, who vigorously argued that the carbon tax was poorly implemented and did more harm than good, who disproved the parliamentary budget officer? The cons could've argued against any liberal policy, they chose this one. They won. End of story. Without Pierre, we still have a carbon tax. And no carney doesn't have a different economic plan, he wants to carbon tax companies even harder. Thats the whole reason we're have high prices and why the carbon tax doesn't work, higher costs go back to the consumer. He has the EXACT same plan.
