GIVE...IT...A...REST...ALREADY

You gotta love, or not love, these child care "advocates".

It seems there was a protest in front of the B.C. Legislature on Tuesday, calling for "a national child care program".

A quote from the SaanichNews...
"The Harper plan is no plan at all," B.C. Federation of Labour secretary-treasurer Angela Schira told the crowd. "It's about eliminating the right for women to choose quality child care for their children."
Amm, no it's not... it's about thousands of other women's right to choose the child care arrangements they want, if they choose not to use institutionalized program.

How about this quote?
"The national child-care program, promised during the dying weeks of Paul Martin's minority Liberal regime, was applauded by parents and daycare providers from coast to coast."
Amm, can you say "selective memory"? NOT EVERYONE APPLAUDED IT!!! Sure, lots of child care "advocates" did, (where would their "industry" be without being able to siphon millions from the Government?) but it was NOT "universally applauded" by parents, as your article suggests. Again, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CHOICE HERE, RIGHT? Why can't we have the choice that we want? Oh, right... it's your way, or the highway... sorry, I forgot. My mistake.

Then I saw the ad at the bottom of the article... "Click here to save 50% on the TORONTO STAR". It all makes sense to me now.

"There's nothing to see here, move along..."

    The only people who want this Soviet-style program is organized labour and other lobby groups on the left.

    We've got a little local movement against the Conservative plan going on here too. Check out my post for today.

    The moonbats must have very soft heads from the constant collisions with reality!

    I don't have any children, don't plan on having any children, and I don't plan on paying for other people to house their children while they are making money.
    Universal health care is a wonderous thing because all people need health care, universal day care on the other hand is for those who have children and want some one else to pay for it.
    The libs have managed to transform themselves into a socialist party with an unacheivable goal and the leftist electorate are now screaming for their due.

    I must admit, I like the new Conservative initiative. The extra money will be helpful to my family. However, it is a bit disappointing that it will be a taxable income and it would be nice to see more.
    As for the choice to have children and the responsibility to raise them ourselves. Just remember that it is my children that will be paying the taxes that will pay for your health care and your pension when you get old and crusty.

    Tax breaks are the best way to provide a child care service because it encourages productive people to have children who will eventually pay taxes.

    Expensive government bureaucracies will discourage productive people from having children - they'll be too busy paying taxes. And the result is that children become a luxury of the rich and poor - the rich pay nannies, the poor hand their kids to the government.
