Unfortunately the economy moves in cycles.  It  has ups and downs.  Good governance requires making unpopular decisions sometimes especially when they relate to spending cuts.  Sometimes you have to cut back good programs and even say no.  It used to be that the majority understood that.  This woman could have followed the lead being taken in Ontario and Ottawa and never said no but she tried to be fiscally responsible.

It's shameful this woman was attacked in the manner described.
