I am being serious here. I want to really get a gauge of what people think.

No. The PC's had to go. I'm not partisan, I've voted for basically every party at some point. Now, do I think the NDP could do a lot of things differently? Absolutely. But if you think if the PC's were in or the WRP we would probably have still have a deficit half the size, and no infrastructure projects and massive cuts to services.
My hope is that the NDP can kind of hold the line on public services wages, though realistically that could be an issue.
As for the oil industry, I don't think they have screwed that up much more than any other government would, and I do have some hope that they can get a pipeline.
My biggest issue is with taxes, specifically the carbon tax. I think it should have never been rolled into general budget and instead operated as a separate entity, funding green projects and incentives. Their method of adding little taxes here and there is disconcerting as well. I agree with the move away form flat taxes, but I still think we need a PST.
Will I vote for NDP next time? Probably not. But they were the best choice in a terrible set of choices.
