If I were an investigative reporter in Alberta, I'd start digging into possible connections between the Danielle Smith regime and the Alberta daycare owners who've shuttered their businesses in a muhhh freeedum (tantrum) protest of $10 childcare. #DanielleSmith#cdnpoli#childcare
"About 9 in 10 Chinese parents and two-thirds of American parents place hard work among the most important values to pass along to children. In Sweden, it’s 11 percent. This makes a lot of sense: Parents everywhere want to set their kids up for success, but 'the economic environment really shapes what that means,' Doepke said." https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2024/01/america-failed-parents-rich-countries-raising-kids/677023/
#Utah Bills Itself as “Family-Friendly” Even as Lawmakers Have Long Neglected Child Care
Federal relief had improved access to #ChildCare. But when funding expired, the state rejected proposals to replace it. Some advocates say the historical influence of the #LDS church has added to the resistance.
While a 5 yr debate rumbles on in #Quebec’s #CourtOfAppeal over resuming #ChildCareBenefits for #AsylumSeekers, rest of Canada continues to make preparations to welcome more people who are fleeing conflict & war.
Only 2% of infants under one and 20% of those under two are enrolled in childcare centers or have a caregiver. The country promotes family cocooning for as long as possible, and those who disregard it are severely judged.
Well, well, well the privatised 'market' for #childcare is actually a hot-bed of profiteering & advantage taking.... leaving Councils budgets increasingly precarious.
Once again the narrative of efficiency & cost-effectveness of the private sector is compromised by the market reality....
@npilon Reading Mr. Starr's article, I came away with the impression that Québec has enough inexpensive government-funded daycare spaces. That's not the case however: there's a long waiting list to get children into a CPE (Centre de la petite enfance).
