Well, based on the NDP hate on here I expected a long list of evil economic changes. So far all we got is a big bunch of nothing other than fear driven assumptions.
Our corporate taxes are competitive....the old 10% tax would not stop companies from withdrawing investments in O&G. I believe that the super low oil prices is the culprit, not a tax increase. And besides, who left and where did they go? It's not like oil is everywhere...
So again, is there anything else? Because this is not that strong of an argument that the NDP has done serious damage here. They might in time, but I really think that the general whining is pre-mature and unsubstantiated.
