Fotze's situation and the current policy debate insired this thread about the Liberals vs Conservatives reagarding a national child care policy.
Which approach do you prefer?
The Liberals who give money to the provinces to build a public child care system....
The Conservatives who want to give families $1200 per child per year plus $250M (over 5 years) in incentives to create new daycares....
IMO I prefer the LIberals approach because:
A: It will create a better system over the long-term...IMO the conservatives will not provide any system building
B: In many cases the extra money will be spent by parents on other, non-child related 'whatever' items. In most cases it won't, but still there is no system to insure that the money will be spent where needed.
On the other hand, I do like the support the Conservative plan gives to parents who are staying at home to look after kids.
Socre this a close win for the Grits IMO
Your thoughts?
