An NDP government will be disastrous for business development of any kind in Canada.  B.C. in particular, is full of 1960 suburban car-centric communities.  Take a look at Langford, on Vancouver Island as a prime example of maintaining  this out-dated formula.  Kids can't walk to school and the shops are miles away from newly constructed homes.  One has to drive a car to get anywhere.  Ironically , they are building geo-thermal homes as a token of being environmentally friendly community.  I hate space heaters and  prefer gas heat , fireplaces and stoves any day and do not want to rely solely on electricity as  a source of energy.   I've lived through too many power failures and electricity is more expensive.  Cars are the biggest polluters and we need gas supply - keep the mega-projects going !
