New blog by #cdnchildcare economist Gordon Cleveland aims at "clearing the fog" by analyzing and understanding child care data. (Too much misinformation is floating around...) https://t.co/4Xd3VaD4TA

Like in the US, Canada's childcare crisis is structural - a kind of 'market failure' that would best be solved by public provision of services, creating a true public service option. Smart analysis by @SuzMKahn. https://t.co/dlKM461AEY

The team at QP Briefing consistently kicked ass, delivered scoops and kept an eye on provincial politics like none other. We’re worse off without these journalists, but I hope QPB’s loss is some other smart editor’s gain 🤍

“[But] it felt dirty.”

As families in Ontario wait for child care fee relief, some for-profit child care owners seem more interested in continuing the status quo of sky-high parent fees and rock bottom wages for early childhood educators.

Today, we learned that a teenage boy in New Brunswick with a traumatic brain injury was held in lockup at a youth facility, a place he never should have been. After being released from a 30-day psychiatric hold, he took his own life.

"Ottawa would be foolish to sign a deal allowing ON to use federal dollars to increase for-profit childcare" - @torontostar. Will hamstring fedgov's meeting its own goals #cdnchildcare @childcareON @Child_Care_Now @CCCF_FCSGE
