Looking forward to reading this later, but just wanted to say I really like this sort of long form journalism for a couple of reasons. One, It sort of reminds me of what I liked about the Saturday G&M so many years ago (pre Internet) where there would be a big focus/feature section that would bridge the gap between far too weedy academic papers and a short "just the facts" article. And second, I want in my feed topics that I dont necessarily think about day to day that never the less I probably should have a passing bit of understanding of in order to better participate in society.
The idea is that subsidized will more directly benefit lower income Canadians. If you don't make much money, the promise of a tax break doesn't do you much good. Not at all madness.
It is interesting that Quebec-style daycare over serves the affluent and well-connected while creating a backlog of demand amongst lower and middle income parents - for spaces that will never be provided while their children are young enough to use them. Classic socialism.

Why not give Canadian families the option in the form of a tax break rather than provide subsidized daycare centres? Madness.
