You're better off to just borrow what you need that month and pay it off because you've already paid out for the couch, and you're just going to have to buy one again anyway.

Honestly, what do you want the province to do right now, lay off 15% of the provincial workforce?

What's an appropriate solution that won't have you complaining about the direction the government is taking here?
I dont think you can point to any evidence where I've advocated for laying off a whole swath of public workers.

But maybe not hiring a whole bunch either would have been a more prudent decision.
