Really that's the case for any new government that comes in during economic down times as there's nowhere to go but up. I can't find any scenario where the economy is in worse shape in four years providing it's a different party than the NDP running the province. I know some of you put a lot of weigh in the social stuff but a lot of NDP policies are simply not business friendly.
