I've seen this technique used.
The other disgraceful technique that McNeil has been using about #NSFilmjobs is whenever he's questioned about it, he always plays these divisive politics -- he always plays the NS film tax credit against some other "tough" policy choice he's had to make.
Last year, when challenged on his stupidity on #NSFilmjobs, he would immediately said something like this: "I'm not worried about some film tax credit. What is more difficult for me, is the public servants I just laid off. That is what keeps me awake at night".
More recently, he's gotten even more disgraceful, now pitting #NSfilmjobs against autistic children. I kid you not! LaRouche from CBC was questioning McNeil's BS on the film tax credit, and McNeil's craven response was "Look, governing is about hard choices. And let me tell you, I had to cut funding for autistic children. That is hard. Not film tax credits".

Psychologist Dorothy Chitty was responding to Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil, who told CBC News on Wednesday that his government had eliminated the wait list for children with autism in this province.
McNeil made the comment to CBC News reporter Jean LaRoche, saying the reduction of the film tax credit helps fund other programs.

What a disgraceful politician this guy is.
Shockingly, McNeil never seems to pit such "tough" policy decisions against the literally hundreds of millions that his moronic NS Government has thrown at pointless and dying rural ferries or polluting and trade-agreement-violating Pulp Mills.
And now, surprise-surprise (!), the VG is going to be blown up and its services moved out of Halifax. Just like the NDP, Liberals are betting on an anti-Halifax election platform.
Once again, despite Halifax being the only real economic engine for the province and our best bet to save this sorry ass province from demographic hell, we have yet another disgraceful and incompetent NS Provincial Government that hates Halifax and constantly employs policies to pander to rural voters.
And we wonder why Halifax items like Imagine Bloomfield or the Birk site sit wallowing, unchanged for years. The Liberals just don't give a crap about Halifax voters.
Like the NDP, I hope McNeil loses *every* single Halifax MLA next election.
Problem, is the other NS parties are all just as rural pandering and moronic.
