Read my article for Spring about what we can expect from Poilievre around #CWELCC and why tax credits and universal benefits will not provide parents with more flexible and affordable childcare. #Canpoli #childcare

[Spring Magazine @springmagca]

While Conservatives try to convince Canadians cash in parents’ pockets is the best, this belies the reality that tax credits do not lower the price of child care or build high-quality licensed spaces where they are needed most. #10adaychildcare

My take on #ZohranMamdani's transformative child care plan and its roots in the history of working-class struggles for affordable child care - and child care workers' struggles for decent work - in New York City. #zohranfornyc

Prof. @_SimonBlack in the @ConversationUS on Zohran Mamdani’s universal child care plan and the history of working-class struggles for affordable child care — and decent work for child care providers — in New York City.

For decades, @cupw has run one of the most important child care funds in the country. It should be studied and emulated by policymakers and unions alike. By @ktlnapeters and Ariane Hotte. @ccpa #canlab https://t.co/K1pas0VY1S

Parents agree that @fordnation & @PaulCalandra need to sign a $10/day childcare extension now. No more delays.

#10aDayChildCare is good for families & the economy. Without it, parents will drop out of workforce & spend less in local communities.

My latest piece in Perspectives about key lessons gleaned from the European Child Guarantee to support a rights-based national #childcare strategy in Canada that prioritizes the inclusion of marginalized children under #CWELCC.

[Broadbent Institute @broadbent]

Decommodified care doesn't have to be a pipedream.

Kaitlin Peters (@ktlnapeters) shows how the European Child Care Strategy could guide universal child care in Canada.

With the federal election behind us, it’s an important time to push Ontario to finally get a #10aDayChildCare agreement signed.

Join our next parent organizing meeting on May 14 at 8pm to talk about next steps.

“At a time when the cost of living was going up, this was the one household cost that went down.” — Ella Bedard, Toronto mom

The $10-a-Day child care program is working—but it’s at risk.

[ParentsForChildCare @Parents4CC]

In this election, we’re voting for #10aDayChildCare!
Lower fees have made life more affordable for many families. And, it’s not just good for families—it’s good for the economy too.

[Kaitlin Peters @ktlnapeters]

When Poilievre says he's going to 'honour' the $10-per-day child care agreements, he means he's cancelling the program in 2026, when the agreements expire, so provinces can give you a tax credit instead of affordable child care #cdnpoli https://t.co/mqhckSdBDn

[ParentsForChildCare @Parents4CC]

Disregard the headline. Poilievre says he will go after CWELCC. He is using the language of flexibility to dismantle a program delivering affordable child care for so many.

[Susan Prentice PhD🇨🇦 @susanprentice]

Bravo to the federal government and the 11 provinces/territories who renewed agreements to keep building the $10aDay child care plan - that's important nation-building, and good news at time when it is in short supply.

[ParentsForChildCare @Parents4CC]

In 2 days, 1500+ people emailed @fordnation about securing the future of #10aDayChildCare!

This AM, @JustinTrudeau announced 4 year funding deals w/ 11 provinces & territories, including Ontario.

There is more work to do, but this is a WIN for families!

[Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care @ChildCareON]

Thanks @fordnation & @JillDunlop1 for listening to the thousands of Ontario parents, educators and supporters who called for signing onto this agreement, which includes a new $16.77B commitment to child care in Ontario.

[Brynne S-W @Brynne_SW]

Tariffs are going to hurt workers & families. This isn't time to let progress on affordable child care slip away.

@fordnation needs to accept federal government's 5-year extension of #10aDayChildCare funding. It will help make life more affordable in difficult times.

[ParentsForChildCare @Parents4CC]

In uncertain economic times, families need the future of #10aDayChildCare secured.

The federal government has offered provinces 5-year extensions to CWELCC.

Tell @fordnation to protect $10aDay child care by signing an agreement now.
