I disagree, if they implement a 5% sales tax right now, after adjusting the tax rates to a progressive from a flat tax, you will see a extremely angry province. Especially if they don't do any meaningful cuts to their budget.

I would agree that if the carbon tax spirals up utility bills and other cost of living expenses, they will get decimated at the next election.

This upcoming budget is going to be really interesting, and will be a litmus test for the mood of this province.
