In ideal times maybe. With huge property tax increases on the horizon, with no pipelines on the horizon, with huge federal and provincial debt at present and on the horizon, it's a financial decision for most voters. That's what I don't get about the Yes emotional manipulation blitz at the end here, I realize it's their only card to play, but you already have those voters you could sway with clips of 88 and 2010. You need to work on convincing other voters, and rallies aren't going to do it.
