I still remember the lines of taxi's waiting outside the office towers in downtown Calgary for people who were laid off after the last provincial government was in power. It was awful and its about to happen again.

Election results definitely play a role on what some big companies do.
I know projects in oil&gas were canceled or put on hold with the last federal election results too
