This applies to provincial and civic governments as well.

I've said it a million times because I deal with a lot of high net-worth individuals and regular average individuals:
People in general do not mind paying their taxes. Until they see their Government wasting the money.
They worked for that money. They earned it. If the Government is just going to waste it then they'd rather keep it.
And thats when 'Trust in Government' begins eroding. People think 'oh Government scandals are no big deal!!'
It creates a snowball effect. Regardless of Governing party.
