I don't have much time today, but this one is easy for EVERYONE to wrap their head around:
The government of Canada over the last 20 years has created a society that is living on the edge of survival, to raise kids and actually OWN a home takes 2 working lower and middle class adults.
The childcare needs of these people is the responsibility of gov't. It is the government's fault that a single adult's wage can't support buying a home and caring for a family.
Just as elementary school and high school is gov't run and funded by taxes, so must the childcare system.
It's plain and simple.
Right now people are paying $30 per child per day.
3 kids in childcare cost more than a mortgage.
If everyone must work, the gov't must have childcare systems available.
Because we can't have a system where only the upper middle class and above is allowed to have children.
And we ALL know that the best thing for all of society is to actually have children raised by a home parent, because the reality of life is that separating children from their parent figure before 5 years of age creates sociopaths and dysfunctional family units, latchkey kids are always higher risk for future poverty.
We need a government that takes childcare seriously or enables one parent to stay home for the first 5 years of the children's life. Something they obviously don't want to do.
