The B.C. government announced an investment in hundreds of child-care spaces Thursday, most funded by federal dollars.
B.C.’s New Democrat government put on a masterclass Thursday in how to spend somebody else’s money while still managing to take all the credit for themselves, trumpeting a major new investment in child-care spaces that appeared to have very little to do with the province at all.
“We know how important it is. The other guys don't. We had a desert of child care here in the West Shore, people had to commute. We want to make sure that the government of British Columbia continues to invest in child care because we know how vital it is.”But the real force of action was the federal government.
It’s as if the party has forgotten how important the $10-a-day promise was to winning the 2017 election campaign.
