Not only that, but they emphasize balancing the budget through cuts to programs & attrition (so a smaller workforce) more than the other parties. Additionally, they are the most pro-decentralization and emphasizing provincial prerogatives of the national parties. Whatever your politics, the Conservatives would be bad for our local economy.
