I don't think it's as big of a deal as some make it out to be, certainly not worth all the fear mongering. If the NDP get 25% of cabinet positions, there isn't going to be a mass exodus of employment because of it. There are several countries in Europe that have much stronger socialist contingents and guess what... people still have jobs. As it is right now, Canada stands to lose 100,000 jobs in the near future no matter who is in power. In reality, whatever government is in power is at the mercy of the American economy.

All this talk reminds me of how liberals were fear mongering that if Harper got in, he'd establish socially conservative bible based laws. It's all a bunch of garbage from all sides.
