Child Care

[err]

The Liberal Plan, while I have some concerns about its effectiveness, at least is focused on the problem:  the lack of quality day care at a reasonable cost for those who need it.  The Conservative Plan is based on ideology and will do nothing to solve the problem.  This idea that there should be no programs offered to the less fortunate to give them a "hand up" reflects the rejection of "progressivism" in the new Conservative Party.

I would prefer to see my tax dollars spent on helping the children of the less fortunate get a good start in life than provide a free gift to the more affluent.

I agree that we must strive for proper, regulated day care. However, I would add that it should be publicly run. Private, for-profit day-care centres care primarily about the "bottom line"... and that's not the children. Further, private centres will care more for a healthy profit than a healthy child. Because of this, I would have to recommend the NDP plan over the Liberal one....

Even Ken Dryden admitted that only 1 in 7 (14%) of working women have pre-school children.

What about the other 86%?

Government is already sticking their noses into to much of our business...Stay out of my decisions for my children! Another black hole has been born if we elect the

Liberals..let's throw money at medicare and daycare! :angry:
