In Quebec it costs parents $7 dollars a day, which is great for the parents that used it. In reality it costs about $15000 per child/ per year for the government to run this program. No wonder the government has $160 Billion in debt to pay off and insane taxes.
This type of thing kills me because I prefer less government involvement in my life, not more. I rather they lower taxes and let me decide what to do with the money. The conservatives are not perfect in this regard, not even close, but they are the best of the bunch right now.
