Personally, I think folks are expecting away too much with a change of government and there's going to be a lot of disappointed ultra right wing conservatives out there. If you're expecting huge cuts in healthcare or education, I betting it won't happen, simply because those type of cuts would cost too many votes from the main stream electorate. We may loose the carbon tax, but I'm betting in its place we'll get a PST or increased income tax, neither which will benefit the average Joe. Perhaps a few cuts to admin positions in the government, but nothing wholesale. I think too many are thinking a change in government is going to make up for the loss of provincial oil revenues. IMO, that's just wishful thinking. Time will tell I guess. A new government can't do much worse than the last two.
