Sadly, you're wrong. Governments create a climate that attracts business and investment. Money and investment are mobile and goes where it is welcome. What lead to the last NDP government downfall is business and investment were fleeing the province. The first thing the new Liberal government did was to cut taxes, the province then flourished. Yes, wildfires are unpredictable.
Raising taxes and giving out money is not sound economic policy. You cannot be socially responsible without a strong economy, the money has to come from somewhere. 
That seems to escape many.
