@CamdenHutchison Well, technically his family is allowed to use food banks too.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@sharongregson Universal… do you have any idea how many families have access to this program?

Hint: it’s less “universal” than US’s healthcare.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@kellyma_michael Not normal when it’s rich siblings and it’s taxpayer subsidized.

But hey, give that spot to Eby instead of single moms. It’s not like those people can do anything anyway.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

Prioritize siblings itself isn’t a problem. Prioritize connections even after receiving tax payer subsidies IS THE PROBLEM.

Don’t normalize terrible program management and waste of tax dollars.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@matlau10 The makes sense. $10/day child care is literally lottery. Others are like $800-$1500 per month and the waitlists are still 1yr+ long.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@kellyma_michael Connections including siblings or Dad is premier… etc.

There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as the centre doesn’t take subsidies.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@DouglasTodd @bcndp Not 1 in 10 young children got $10/day child care.
It’s 1 in 10 child care spots are $10/day spots.

It’s worse because demand is way higher than supply.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@alanfryermedia Waitlist jumped, that’s how his youngest kid got that spot, which happened after the $10/day program.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@mortimer_1 It also tells you how corrupted the system is. His youngest kid should’ve never got that spot, the centres are prioritizing connections over needs, while receiving tax payer subsidies.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@bcndp Still not paying your MLA’s child care.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

How the F is the younger kid get the spot then. What’s the new excuse now?

[Sussanne Skidmore @susibcfedprez]

The centre became a $10-a-day site after one of his kids was already enrolled. Because they knew they didn't need the discount, they donated to the centre to help other families. Now their younger child is at the same centre, and they're making a similar donation.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@PollsCda 1st creating $10/day centre at Point Grey is already a joke.

2nd the other kid got that spot after it became one tells you these centres prioritize connections over needs.

3rd Eby already has a wife, stop sucking his dick.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

Like what are the odds both of his kids got the $10/day spots?

[Cole Hogan @colewhogan]

Just now, David Eby confirms that he has his kids in $10/day taxpayer-subsidized daycare.

Approx. only 10% of BC daycare spots offer $10/day daycare. Most families who want in can't get a spot.

As Premier, Eby earns $227k/year. Eby's wife is a doctor. Their household income is likely well over half a million dollars per year.

We don't resent British Columbians who are successful (we want more people to succeed).

But where there are wait lists, surely a wealthy family like Eby's shouldn't be taking advantage of $10/day daycare. Think about a working single mother? David Eby deserves the spot more than her?

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@RhonaRaskin 2-tier healthcare has always existed in Canada.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@Dave_Eby Sorry, I am still not paying for your child care.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@colewhogan The odds are worse than 10% actually. Demand is way higher than supply and that’s why pretty much all waitlists are 1yr+ long even for expensive child cares.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@JM_Whiteside Like how Eby jumped ahead of single moms in $10/day child care waitlist?

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@bcndp Nope. I am not paying for NDP MLAs’ child care fees.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@MattIlich @Anthony__Koch LMAO. The same for me, and I go to kids community centres / playgroups in Burnaby like 3 times a week.

[JB 🐈 @JacksonBluSky]

@jinnysims So more NDP MLAs can enjoy $10/day daycare?
