Without our funding would Quebec have such a subsidized daycare program.It's becoming quite clear by the last election that Quebec will finally get the separation they've always wanted.So when they do separate, can they afford the costs of this program. And let's not forget Quebecs purpose under the separatists regime was to increase the birth rate of French pure Francophone babies by reducing the costs to the parents with this subsidy.This is a bigoted,racist,self preservationist regime.Are they justified in this behavior because of the meltdown of there culture ? I as a young feminist do not intend to have children,should I have to support the many woman out there that wish to have 3/4/5/6 or even 7 children. Some of the new emigrants coming to our country without any or little education feel it's there duty to have as many children as they can.With the influx of 250,000 new emigrants per year to Canada with many coming from countries where it's a duty to have at least six children,it's not hard to see that this National Child Care program could reach staggering costs.
At what point does the costs of subsidies(taxes) bring down the ambitions of the countries youth.

As a young feminist who does not intend to have children, why should you support the public school system?As a young feminist who does not intend to have children, why should you support a medical system that includes free care for babies and pregnant mothers? As a young feminist who does not intend to have children, why should you support transit systems and recreation facilities that include discounts to children? As a young feminist, is the reason you're against a National Child Care program because you think "some" immigrants will make it too expensive, or because you don't intend to have children and so believe you shouldn't have to share in the cost of public programs that include them? As a young feminist, why should it be your duty to justify the accusation--which impacts women most of all--that "some" of the "new emigrants...feel it's there (sic) duty to have as many children as they can?" As a young feminist, why should you justify the implication that "some" immigrants' purported lack of education is relevant to the cost of a national daycare program? As a young feminist, why should you worry about blaming the "staggering costs" that a "National Child Care program "could" reach on "some" immigrants (again, mainly impacting women)? As a young feminist, why don't you ask: "At what point does the cost of a subsidized (taxed) National Child Care program assist the ambitions of the country's youth (and the ambitions of their mothers)?" .

Except, idiot Traci, the incentives applied to everyone in Québec, not just francophones. If Québec wanted to increase births as a social policy, so what? We did it before....and we'll do it again! French-Canadians will pump out babies like Pez dispensers on steroids. And since you anglos are so afraid of sex...Mwahahahaha! Traci, turn around....Le BOO!

i'm not feeling as nice as you, rb....well, to paraphrase barbara kingsolver: be careful what you give the child, for they will return it to you a thousandfold. in other words, you give the kids crap, you will get crap in your old age. tell me traci, who will care for you in your old age? that's right..one of the kids you wouldn't pay to support. the future's doctors and teachers, policemen, lawyers..etc will come from today's kids. gyp them and you gyp yourself. your selfishness will only bite you in the ass. hard.
