I wrote this response to an opinion piece by Andrea Mrozek published by CBC News Opinion. My response didn’t get published. Here’s a flavour:
“Child care in Quebec is very affordable, and is very popular with parents. Its affordability has had dramatic positive impacts on women’s employment, family incomes, and child poverty. Reputable economists claim that these effects are so positive that funding child care affordability can completely or nearly completely pay for itself. However, as Ontario develops its child care policies, it is important to imitate Quebec’s successes and avoid Quebec’s mistakes.”
