Either way. I still stand by my opinion that the current government is not to be blamed for what's happening here right now. Carbon tax may be a big burden in 2020, but that's just speculation on what will happen and how it will affect us.

Realistically it's unlikely that the NDP will get reelected so the whole thing will likely be scrapped. Corporations account for that. They will take the bump in the road here and there and wait for next election. They aren't that short sided.

So again, not saying that the NDP is doing anyone any favours, but at the same time, they haven't done much damage at the moment if at all. That's why I asked the question on what they have done to date to hurt us so badly. Because people are freaking out and blaming them for last years layoffs etc.

Dude, people are telling you in no uncertain terms that the royalty review is absolutely having an impact on capital decisions, and therefore jobs in this province.

You can call it your opinion all you want, but saying things like the one above in bold, are objectively wrong, specifically the "If at all" part. We can debate all we want how large the impact is, and your definition of "done much damage", I've even conceded that it's very difficult to accurately quantify it, but to imply that it's possible that they've not had any hand in making things worse, is flat out wrong.

You want to debate the size of the impact? Fill your boots.
You want to argue whether they've had an impact? Either take your head out of the sand, or stop implicitly calling some of us liars.
