Yes it is, NDP would rather you freeze to death then deal with the real world and burn hydrocarbons for engery. And it was the conservatives who set up the tax program that started the oilsands boom, that tax system was in place back when oil was 18/bbl and thanks to the conservative thinking its now paying back in spades.
Just so everyone doesnt feel left out, the rest of canada does get its cut remember oil companies pay federal taxes like every other company. And yes we all live in canada, but guess what natural resouces under the provence belongs to the citizens of that provence, period. No one bitches about getting a cut of the mineral minning of Ont or a slice of the forestry revenues of BC, just becuase its oil/gas doesnt make it differnt then all the other natural resources.

We've had NDP government in Halifax for years upon years now, and I'm still warm and toasty.
Oh yeah and that warmth is derived from dirty energy production. Our heat comes from burning oil and our electricity comes from burning coal.
Perhaps you're thinking of the Green Party? Even still your accusations would be an exageration, but especially so in picking the NDP.
