And this attitude is why the NDP calculates that it is better to appease their base rather than the many people in Calgary and rural Alberta that will never vote for them no matter what they do.

Business drives wealth creation, but the government provides the stable framework, the infrastructure, and the rule of law which allows modern business to exist and thrive. Contempt for the bureaucracy shows nothing more than one's obliviousness to how an advanced economy works, which isn't by some unfettered market-based libertarian cream dream, but by politics and policy as much as dollars and jobs.
