I don't know how many daycare spaces there are in Alberta, but if I assume 100,000 based on 789,000 kids in this province between the ages of 0 and 14.
So we're going to subsidize 240 per month x 100,000 = 24,000,000 per month x 12 = $288,000,000

What is the economic benefit of increasing the birthrate in AB?
How much cost is there involved in the immigration process and development of immigrant families into successful Albertans vs. that of enabling already established, successful Albertans to have more kids?
The "it costs money so I hate it" argument is simplistic and tired.
