Families Minister Jenna Sudds said Monday some Ontario daycare centres have pulled out of the federal government’s national early learning and child care program because the province hasn’t stepped up with enough cash.
Asked about some daycares either rejecting or bailing out of the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program, Sudds said it’s a “consequence, unfortunately, of a delay with respect to the province of Ontario coming forward with a sustainable and long-term funding formula for providers.”
Sudds said the province is “responsible for fostering those relationships” so that providers have the money they need to “confidently continue to provide high-quality services.”

We knew Doug is gonna fuck it up we just weren’t sure exactly how. This is so fucking sad. Him and his brother have wasted so much investment in the quality of life for people in Ontario and Toronto it’s just criminal. His brother set back transit in Toronto by a decade with nothing to show for it.
“Gotta save that cash for the bribes.” Drug Fraud probably.
Hey drugs are cool.
Doug is not.
Ahh yes, if ‘asking for more money from the feds while deflecting blame for your handling of it back to the feds’ only brought Stanley Cups.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sudds made the comments at a stop in St. Thomas, Ont., where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $200 million in funding to create more child care spaces in a province where they’re in short supply.
Ola’s monthly debt is growing “by a significant amount” and it had to pull out of the $10-a-day program and increase rates to match inflation or risk shutting down, the operator wrote in an email to parents obtained by the Canadian Press.
Operators have said the combination of a cap on fees parents pay and insufficient government rebates has some daycare centres teetering on the edge of insolvency — or threatening to leave Ottawa’s child care program behind.
Poilievre’s spokesperson pointed to recent Statistics Canada data that shows families are reporting it’s more difficult to find a child care spot now than it was five years ago.

Still not a big fan of this system as it effectively punishes stay-at-home parents.
If the federal government wants to fund childcare just increase the CCB from ages 0 - 4 and let parents decide what childcare works best for them.
That seems like an odd take. Literally any tax or incentivization would be “punishing” those who can’t/don’t use it.
Is providing school funding via taxes punishment for parents who want to homeschool their children?
Is providing any kind of child care/child education funding punishment for childfree people?
Is increases in funding for rural internet or road reconstruction punishment for people who choose to live in cities or don’t drive?

Exactly. Treat people equally
What do you consider treating people equally?

If you think it’s buying wheelchairs for people who can walk, so they’re not penalized for their mobility. you’re not quite there.
Wut?
If the federal government wants to fund childcare just increase the CCB from ages 0 - 4 and let parents decide what childcare works best for them.
Wouldn’t that just be giving out money, even if there was no intention of using childcare?
The lack of available childcare is the issue. Even if you wanted to pay a premium, there’s simply nothing available.
