If that's what you have to do in order to do business here, if that's just a market reality in this Province that we tell the world we're comfortable with, no one will want to do business here at par with other jurisdictions. And they'll be right not to.

Not at the whim of future government. At the whim of the commodity that the entire economy operates on. The commodity that at least 90% of his customer base works for.
The tax increases would have fell in line with that thinking. Clearly if Oil goes down the government will most likely not be able to keep taxes at ridiculously low levels.
