The cracks were here when the conservatives were in charge, very little if anything would be different today if they won instead of the NDP. Oil tanked no one wants to invest.
Raising taxes would actually make a company think do I put my free cash flow into a new project and take on the expenses with that or cash it out and pay taxes the fact that most of the companies want to pay taxes instead of invest should be saying something. There is no return right now. But everyone's actual profit will be done regardless this year because of oil prices so amount government will collect will likely be lower regardless of rate.
