I don't think there is in BC.
Also I'm a bum and we still need daycare. We couldn't even get daycare at any price, let alone $10/day.

There are different subsidies in BC. There's one that's not income tested, which has lowered costs pretty significantly. But families below a certain threshold ($110K income I think?) can get additional subsidies which brings the cost down even more.
For spaces, it's pretty tough right in the cities. For childcare (particularly for 0-2 year olds who need more staff) to be viable and affordable, the people working there have to have pretty modest wages. But in an expensive city, you're not going to find many people that can make it work on those wages, so that leads to space shortages.
