Liberals' non-existent child care program; it's been around since 1984 .. "Shortly before the 1984 federal election, the Liberal government announced a Task Force on Child Care to be led by BC sociologist Katie Cooke." .. childcarecanada.org/documents/rese… #shameful #cdnpoli #childcare

"Most of the 1990s saw child care off the national political agenda after the Liberals' Red Book commitment to improve and expand child care at the national level was not fulfilled. After the Red Book, child care was off the national table until 2003" .. #childcare #cdnpoli
Stephen Harper put the final nail in the coffin of universal childcare .. "When the Liberals lost the election in January 2006, the Harper govt cancelled the bilateral agreements, making the Foundations Program another close-but-no-cigar for Canadian child care." .. #cdnpoli
It's a no-brainer .. "Universal child care would generate up to $29 billion a year in tax revenues, new report says" .. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/… via @torontostar #Canada #childcare #cdnpoli #cdnecon
