You could say the PCs bit the hand that feeds them in a major way as well at least with the way they have treated the voter base. Scandal after scandal, dirty politics, blaming voters for the problems they created by telling voters to look at themselves in the mirror, released a budget nobody liked, then told all the people complaining to ##### off by calling an election nobody wanted expecting a majority. Height of arrogance right there.
NDP is also not going to ruin the O&G sector either, it's a slight increase with a royalty review only when the sector gets better. We already have one of the lowest royalty rates in the world and better the taxpayer get a bigger chunk of that why the cash starts rolling in again than not. There is a good chance oil prices may not recovery for a long time either so the hike will likely not happen under this term.
