You obviously haven't been paying attention to their idiotic interference in what was a well functioning electricity generation and transmission market in the province.
Not to mention the royalty review that changed nothing but resulted in an entire year's worth of capital expense evaporating from from the province.
Oh, and jacking corporate tax rates by 20% in the midst of a recession to drive even more investment away from the province.
It's terrible, but not surprising to anyone who actually
read the NDP platform document before the election. You can't expect brilliance from people who's financial education might amount to having read Corporate Finance For Dummies, but I would have hoped the NDP would have moderated some positions in the hope of winning a second term.
