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.

Exactly zero people are blaming them for last year's layoffs.
I welcome you or anyone to provide a logical arguement against the following statement:
Higher corporate taxes, higher carbon taxes, royalty framework uncertainty, and campaigning against pipelines all have directionally negative consequences on the oil and gas industry in Alberta.
