re: childcare in Canada

just for the record – Canada has one of the worst records re:providing childcare – in the industrialized world

and other countries have found that when they provide free childcare, their overall social expenditures diminish exponentially, because single parents are able to work.

o.k. – back to real estate

If it were free, how does big pharma and the health system make money? It looks free, but it's not, is it? "Child benefits,child care for low income earners" - what? low income earners? How could the rich immigrants be low income earners if they make gazillions flipping real estate? Or do you mean they arrive rich and then turn poor after getting here? That sounds like a great way to attract immigrants, don't you think? "Arrive rich, become poor". "return of the amount paid for as child care are all part of child care programme" - again, it shows you have no kids. what on earth are you saying? Every dollar I pay towards child care is coming back to me? Ha ha ha ha. Are we talking about the same vancouver best place on earth here? "free education till grade 12" - yeah?
