Carole James is taking an ideology to financiers. In Quebec she will be trying to explain a contrarian ideology to Quebecers that have massive hydro-electric projects that dwarf the one her government is stalling and waffling on. 

Two massive LNG project cancellations, Pacific Northwest LNG and Petronas LNG amount to a massive loss of around $50 billion in investments coming into BC. Cancelling the Northern Gateway pipeline and now opposing, in court, the Trans Mountain project is another loss of many billions more. Cancelling the Massey Bridge infrastructure project is another $3 billion project too.

All this cannot be made up with increasing taxes for the wealthy and businesses.

The NDP got elected by giving away the farm to enviros and dreamers. They got the power they yearned for but they are going to find it very difficult to get support from the finance community after closing the doors to so much industry.
