text: Things will be bad, but unlike the 90s the other places to move so aren't so attractive.  The US has Trump whereas if they had Clinton or an establishment Republican it might be more attractive.  Alberta and Ontario had governments on the political right during the 90s, today they have left wing ones like BC will and are in a deeper mess.  Only Saskatchewan and Manitoba have centre-right governments and both being landlocked and small populations will mean less moving to them.  Now yes if Brown wins in Ontario and Kenney in Alberta you could see this change, but people don't change on the whim of a change in government, they change after a government has been in for a while and its policies have had an impact meaning it will more be if the NDP gets a second term this might happen.
