An article in today's Ottawa Citizen on how public servants are reacting to
letters they receive from their employer, the Government of Canada, advising
them that their jobs may be "affected" - ie. cut. In general, the article
indicates that, with some 20,000 jobs to be cut, there is a lot of stress in
the Canadian public service right now. There has already been one suicide.

The people who are being affected are not poor folk who never made it to high
school. Typically, they are university graduates who have put a lot of time
and effort into their work and who thought they were building long-term careers
in the public service.
