Alberta threatens to exit ‘unsustainable’ subsidized child-care program
Quote:
The province estimates Ottawa’s proposed funding terms would leave it facing a $5-billion shortfall over the 2026 to 2031 funding period.
“[This leaves] Alberta to prop up an unsustainable and inflexible system that cannot meet the demands of our growing population,” Jones said in his emailed statement.
If Ottawa does not increase its funding, Alberta plans to stop participating in the subsidized child-care program after its agreement expires in March 2026.

Stop meddling in our business Ottawa but also, give us more money!
I for one, can't wait for childcare fees to go up from ~300 to $1k+ per month in 2026.
