More on child care...

So the Liberals fight back with their ad hoc plan to throw billions more at the socialized child care. I don't think they even budgeted this or anything, but wanted to respond to Harper's plan with something bigger. Well, bigger is not better. Except if you ask left wing activists, oh and by chance, this article from CTV has.

Monica Lysack, Executive Director of the Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada, "If we simply give the money to parents, we're saying 'Take the money, now it's your problem.' And I think that would be a really cowardly thing for the government to do."

I think she has a real point, if we allow parents to raise their own children, they won't be reliant on government for an aspect of their lives. The horror! This day care may not be far enough I fear, we need an department of child punishment too. When a child misbehaves the parent can fill out a standardized form and then 6-8 weeks later the government can let the parent know how to best discipline their child. We need to take the parent out of parenting!

Or... "Paul Moist, the national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), says the Conservative plan is flawed because it would use public funds to open the door to "big box" commercial child care chains."

What don't you people understand, this will help the big evil corporations! Sure he may not be talking about the quality of care the children will receive, but don't forget that union workers can take these child care jobs that the government could create! Whenever we propose any new child care plan, we need to think of how it can impact our union workers, not those greedy fucking children/parents that want the best child care to meet their specific situation.
