We are now live, please join us to discuss the dangerous childcare regulatory changes that the Ford government has proposed‼️ #onpoli#childcaretownhall
“There were consultations from black organizations that were ignored, there were consultations from ....” @AlanaMarieP#childcaretownhall
“One of my fears is that there is not a lot of understanding of what makes really good early learning childcare...we have had so little of licenced high-quality childcare quality in Canada that we don't necessarily know it when we see it...” @MornaBallantyne#childcaretownhall
“The problem is that childcare is a private commodity, and it shouldn't be a private commodity.” @_MFriendly#childcaretownhall
“I had hoped that one of the things the pandemic would do was that it would make this government sort of wake up and see childcare in a new way...” @CarolynFerns#childcaretownhall
“I don't want to live in a society where the ratio of what full professors like me are paid at the University of Toronto, compared to what early childhood educators, is a disgrace.” @CEPascal#childcaretownhall

"COVID-19 made obvious that the system was never made for our survival" says @MatthewGreenNDP when addressing how various levels of government have dealt with the pandemic so far, "this idea that the free market will solve our societal challenges has been completely debunked"
Excited to have a conversation with my friend @MatthewGreenNDP about how the Federal @NDP is advocating for structural change in Ottawa, including the win with paid sick days, a push for a livable basic income, & more!

@MatthewGreenNDP will share his experience of calling on the fed gov. to put in place a 1% tax on wealth over $20 million & an excess profit tax on big corporations that have profited off the pandemic, & to re-invest the billions of dollars recouped from these measures to:
🔸Expand income security programs to ensure all individuals residing in Canada have a guaranteed livable basic income;
🔸Expand health care, including by putting in place a national dental care program and a universal, single-payer, public pharmacare program;
