What is the feeling on the street in Amsterdam?

Hallo all!
I have seen some news reports about the new Dutch government that has been sworn in by Queen Beatrix. Does it truly look like the conservatives are getting the upper hand, and readying to close the A'dam coffeeshops to non-Dutch citizens? It seems to me that a large amount of money would be lost by cutting off this revenue stream.
Here is just one article that I came across. Feedback on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

With the dollar being in a sad state versus the Euro, and Cannabis Cup time fast approaching, I would be interested to see how American attendance fares this year.
Hopefully the Dutch spirit of commerce (i.e.- tax $ from coffeeshops) will win out over the Christian, conservative mindset.
Peace, y'all!
