The Ford government needs to start spending the child care funding provided by the federal government. Instead, Ford cut $85.5 million from municipal budgets putting $10/day child care at risk.
I grew up with Bill Davis as premier. It took a long time for me to recognize that since the time of Frank Miller, Conservative governments are not interested in building a better Ontario and that the provincial government does not serve its citizens but corporate interests. If we had an electoral system based on proportional representation, people like Doug Ford would not have 100% of the power to destroy what took generations of our tax dollars to build. In Steve Paikin's bio of Bill Davis, Kathleen Wynn says of the more radical right wing of the conservative movement, "despise(s) people who want to collaborate and solve problems. They don't really believe in government." If Kathleen is correct in her assessment, we are in for a very tough time over the next 2 years.
This makes me feel so angry! This government does not seem to understand that this money need to benefit people not go to corporate profits.
I remember the Davis government getting money towards child care; they spent it hiring their members in each community to do a ‘study of what is actually needed’. And the seed money was gone. Nothing more was done!
For the sake of my own health I must stop reading about the terrible things that this government is doing!
