From ‘axe the tax’ to ‘climate consensus’: Looks like Bill Tieleman has more to answer for than just his shenanigans here in BC

From Alex Frankl in The Guardian (referring to Tony Abbot’s anti-environmental success in Australia)

“After years running focus groups I’ve learned one thing: technical terms like ‘carbon’ and ‘emissions’ can never win against a simple story about tax”

except here in BC where Tieleman invented this regressive “populist” message and managed to turn it into a (well-deserved) loser for the NDP.
