Mr. Dryden had stipulated that the money must be put toward quality, regulated child care but Premier Bernard Lord had insisted on greater autonomy over how it was spent.

i don't expect this government to be nearly as discriminating, because they don't seem to be looking at it from the same perspective. for dryden - and generations of liberals before him - childcare was about the child. this government seems to see it more in terms of kitchen-table family-planning economics and what's best for corporate interests, and is interpreting it as a way to put more money in the pockets of families, while making corporate executives happy at the same time.

oh, and btw - your taxes will no doubt go up to pay for it.

...because it's a corporate subsidy, not a childcare system. and, taxpayers always pay for corporate subsidies, in the end.

the liberals used to be good at this, but they're just not anymore. it's terrible plan after terrible plan...

but, let's see what they come up with before i write it off completely.
