There is nothing in what she said that is supposed to say "hey it's tough times so try doing this" - what she said is that "hey it's tough times for everyone and everyone is trying different things to make ends meet, for me it was this."

Personally I think it sounds disingenuous. What cost cutting initiatives have any of these people in government really done (for government or personally)? I don’t even believe she did it. Lol
It was a dumb thing to say that rings hollow and I bet you 90% of Canadians see through it. It’s not even like cutting Disney+ is some big sacrifice either, which is why it also why it sounds so disconnected from most people. Like it actually is just a dumb comment so I don’t see why it requires any defence.
