Forced sterilisation of poor people? F*** off.
I suspect Observer isn't quite old enough to work yet.
The idea of $20,000.00 being the starting point for daycare in Canada seems preposterous to me.
Guess you will have to wait a few years on the Mercedes.It what is said in that article and I found a website that says 10,000$/year for a licensed daycare but that is for the entire province not for the city of Toronto where it probably much higher at the 20,000$/year said earlier. Another article says basic daycare costs now range from $600 a month per child to as much as $2,000.
That garbage website said:The Canadian average child care cost data comes from the information gathered from the input of users of this site. PLEASE NOTE: although we take into account responses from multiple participants to calculate the child care cost, we do not verify the daycare rates provided. For provincial daycare rates select the province on the right
20K a year is like what? $360 a week.
I have never heard of normal daycare costing $360 a week.
I suppose you're against public education too?
Would you like to source Conservapedia next?
Which is in line with it.Basic daycare costs now range from $600 a month per child to as much as $2,000.
No see that isn't an aspect anymore not even families in their late 20s with successful careers can really afford daycare. By your logic people should never have children till their late 30s when it is incredibly difficult and even then it might not be. Shouldn't we be encouraging young successful families?
When did it become the responsibility of the federal government to insure parenthood when the time was convenient? When did it become my responsibility to pay to help someone else to raise their kids?
When then they are incredibly lucky because after I think after 35 it becomes rather difficult to conceive children and at that time most people don't want to raise a newborn child. You pay for others education it's the same principle.
HUH?
The most expensive full time option on your list is $855.73/month which is almost half as expensive as what you insisted the cheapest daycare was.
Like I said in the reply these are successful families in their late 20s making a fair amount of money they are not mistakes it is the time when people want children. People can't wait to their late 30s and 40s to have children.
We pay for public education because an educated populace is a net benefit to the entire community. Cheap day care is not.
Therefore as a nation we can afford it? Most people cannot afford it, therefore we should force government to force people to pay for it? Am I reading that right?No see that isn't an aspect anymore not even families in their late 20s with successful careers can really afford daycare.?
Well, of course no one wants that.

It's beneficial for you that people have children or else the hole will just get deeper as mor people age.

When 20,000$+ a year is not a big deal is when couples have very major issues with fertility and there is a fairly good chance they won't. That or spend so much money trying to get pregnant they can't afford daycare anymore.
Apparently conservatives would prefer educated people be forced to stay at home collecting welfare than being helped back into work via subsidised daycare.
Any good entrepeneur will tell you "you have to spend money to make money".
I don't think the ideas of at least one libertarian in this thread that poor people should be forcibly sterilised in the name of social darwinism, is a viable option.
First off, $20k is an absurd price, they should look for somewhere cheaper and/or move somewhere where it's less expensive. When my wife and I had 2 kids in day care, it cost nowhere remotely close to that. If people refuse to pay those prices, those prices will come down. That's how a free market economy works. Secondly, you act like people are entitled to breed to their heart's content. They are not. They can have as many kids as they can personally afford and if they can't afford any kids, they shouldn't have any.
This isn't that difficult, except to the mentally deficient liberal.
