"Common sense Conservatives will listen to the common sense of the common people, not Justin Trudeau's so-called 'experts,'" a spokesperson for Poilievre told the Canadian Press.

Translation: we, Conservatives, prefer to ignore any information, no matter how well researched or sourced, that goes against our own opinion, which in all cases, is simply the opposite opinion of the governing party. In fact, we prefer the opinion of those with much to gain from us opposing these opinions, such as oil and gas companies, Christian groups, and really any person likely to receive personal monetary gain which can then be shared with us.

These days, when someone starts appealing to common sense I automatically assume their position is fraught and their other arguments weak. I have yet to encounter one instance of this not being the case. Demagoguery has destroyed whatever was left of common sense.

"common sense" is a toothless argument without a statement of fact to back it up.
