„Wir haben etwas falsch gemacht“: NS-Regierung ändert nach Aufschrei ihren Kurs bei einigen Haushaltskürzungen | CBC-Nachrichten

While I am glad Houston eventually reversed course on the worst of these cuts, it’s hard not to see this as a problem of the Progressive Conservative’s own making.

If I recall right, this current government did inherit a surplus from the previous government, and then also made quite a few large cuts in revenue such as lowering the HST and removing Bridge Tolls in Halifax.

It’s certinally not a good look to ask parochial rural communities to pay for city infrastructure, then go on to cut spending in rural communities. It will be interesting to see how this effects provincial polling.
