Is there a industry they haven't meddled with yet?

The NDP are unique because they have a strong belief that the Private sector should be completely subservient to the government, and that the government should have the right to pick winners and losers.
Its most closely reflected in the BS statement by Hoffman, that the utilities have made 10 billion in profit, so they should be willing to take a 2 billion dollar soaking for the people of Alberta and more importantly to help smooth over their stupidity,
that even though the less profitable clause was there that these utilities shouldn't be pulling the trigger on them.
Its similar to the carbon tax situation where the government is going to collect this tax and then decide or pick winners and losers in terms of where that money goes. Which is incredibly dumbski.
The NDP wants to be able to snap their fingers and have the private sector jump to their whims without question, and its not how it works, and we're seeing that now with a reduced level of trust in terms of investing in a province run by the NDP.
