Good luck trying to figure out how many $10\u002Da\u002Dday childcare spaces have been created so far
where provinces are shaded in different hues of purple . Looking at the map gave me no sense of how close we are to Canada-wide $10-a-day childcare .
To make a go of calculating a rough total of $10-a-day spaces created across Canada so far, one must comb through a heap of sporadic news reports and government press releases, documents that are often deliberately misleading.
It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that information about $10-a-day childcare is so hard to come by because Trudeau and Co. would prefer not to advertise their lack of progress on the file so far. Parents, who have been through hell and high water over the past two years and change, deserve better than the runaround from a Liberal government that’s promised to deliver results on affordable childcare.
If Trudeau can’t give parents $10-a-day childcare just yet, the least he can give them is transparency.Rahim Mohamed is a freelance writer based in Calgary.
