In the absence of these important policy proposals, there is evidently some apprehension among Canadians. Half (46%) say they are “fearful” of the CPC forming government, while fewer (35%) anticipate it with hope. A majority (54%) suspect Poilievre and the CPC have a “hidden agenda” that won’t be revealed until after the party wins the elections.

There is also some doubt that a Poilievre-led government can balance the budget and lower income taxes as promised, even if most view them to be “good things”. More than two-in-five (45%) say neither will happen.

These are the same people who say they would prefer a dangerous freedom *rather than a peaceful slavery. As if you can't have a peaceful freedom...

They are more concerned about their feelings than actually moving towards a real freedom.

Edit: wording

Yep. It's cognitive dissonance. Presumed innocence & welfare for me, discipline and punishment & rugged individualism for thee.
