and productivity and taxes in society. Seems kids were meant to teach and learn from one another from a young age in a group. Think of it. Kids were in big groups in previous generations. They came from big families or played with neighbours or ran around in little groups in villages. They need to be well socialized before school. Plus more women working is great for society. But instead of making subsidised childcare part of their platform in this comming election, Conservative Party of Canada wants to do it through tax credits. Why? To lock out the poor. They have tax credits specifically for the working poor but what if you don't pay taxes cause you are so poor?They need a big bunch of poor people on the right they can collapse the middle and lower middle class into so they can terrorize educated liberals into voting Conservative such is the pit of despair if they fall out of the elite or upoer middle class or 1%. When Trudeau announced a new 'Ministry of Middle Class Prosperity' the Conservatives howled. The Right wing wants to grow the poor so we can all be like Mexico and those better off all vote to hoard money and not pay taxes.
