Yeah, you are right.

The thing with Quebec is that they do not listen to the feds for where to allocate the money they are given.

The other provinces are told how much money is to be put where from Federal transfers.

Quebec does their own thing.

This is embarassing...
I hate so much the fact that we are so distinct from other provinces!

Where did it all go wrong?
What did we not sign up?
(I know some of the answers to this...)

My husband and I (and other friends from Ontario) always say that the problem is not Canada... it's Québec!

Haaa... that's a hole 'nother debate wich if I get into with my die hard "Parti Québécois" friends, they have me on a stick!

What happens in Quebec is that in order to pay for your social programs...for example 24 hour $7/day daycare...the money comes out of the Federal Transfer payments.

In order to make these programs work the money needs to come from somewhere...that is why Quebec medicare is in trouble.

That is one thing Gille Duceppe does not tell you....with Quebec taking up to %44 of the Federal money divided between provinces the Belle province can not afford to seperate.

The whole national daycare debate is joke too...it was just vote buying on the Liberals behalf.

They could not even fund national medicare properly yet they want to fund a national daycare.
I say fix what you have then bring in more programs if you can...but...talk is cheap and votes are easy to buy.

Correction;
Daycare centers are only open from 7:00 to 18:00, week days... and the places are limited.
A lot of people have to hire in private...

Nonetheless, you're absolutely right...

What we are hoping for now, is that a household that makes 200K/year gets to pay more that $7.00/day... more than the minimum wage people... leaving space for the onesw really in need.
THAT, in itself, would be a start!

Thank You for the correction...just goes to show you can not believe everything you read is correct.

Here is something I had a problem with...the Liberal plan.

Best case senerio it was something one out of sixteen kids get the chance at subsidized daycare under the Liberals.

I work shift work and have a couple days off during the regular work week.
Because I want to raise my child and not send him to daycare on my days off a couple days during the week, I am now NOT entitled to use the government daycare.
Even though my tax dollers are funding it...and I would be forced to pay out of my pocket for the 2 and a half days I would need daycare...so really I pay twice.

I will be more than happy to take the $100 Harper is going to send my way...at least I am getting something I can use...versus getting nothing at all.

There is a lot of that, happening...

My cousin makes about 100K/year and her husband (I would say) around 150...

They have 2 boys that they sent to public daycare centers before they reached school age.

On the other hand, an assistant of mine was making 28K/year and her husband, minimum wage.
Because they live in a crowder area, they had to send their baby to a private daycare center (tax deductable because of their low income, sure) but... how fair is that?

The idea behind a socialist system is so everyone gets a chance...
Right now, as it is... it DOES NOT work!

L.O.L. Reminds me...

Once In California, this guy said to me "Hey, you're Canadian? Let's get married and move to Canada where we will both make 60K/year on wellfare"...

I asked him if he truely beleived that 60K was what they make?
And he said "Yes, I heard it on the news"...

The only thing I can think of is that he heard that someone that is on wellfare gets a "salary" and a lot of other benefits for free... on top of that, some of them work (non-declared) so it can come up to 60K/year...

I know some handy men that are pretty well off... on Canadian wellfare!

Ho, and I know a girl on wellfare (by choice) that brings her child everydays to a public daycare...
She stays at home all day yet, needs daycare!
L.M.A.O... (although it's NOT funny)...

No wonder why there is nothing left for medical purposes!

Sounds like the kid is better off away from her while in daycare...

The idea is fundamentally good.
But I just think that it doesn't work well, as it is!
Especially in this politically messed up province...

I hate Socialism. The US used to work just fine with the healthcare and public education. All of it started going to pot when parents got uninvolved in the public schools and we graduated too many lawyers.

What's killing the US is greed and that greed will drive prices so high that the people will want Socialism.

Everyone wants a handout now or the corporations are screwing us. We need another Teddy Roosevelt.

Socialized medicine means the middle class and poor have poor healthcare and the rich will still have their private clinics and hospitals.

I'm afraid socialist healthcare is comming to the US because too many don't have healthcare due to our horrific insurance prices.

Previously, I answered "Yes, she is a basket case" but that was a fast answer...

I said she was a basket case when in fact, she is just a lazy and selfish individual;
She is fully capable of working (smart with a degree, lots of talents etc...) but choses not to.
She is completely adequate for taking care of her child full time, but choses not to, as she claims that she needs "time for herself"...

1- If the wellfare laws would allow the agents to do their jobs, they would investigate and find out that she does not DESERVE to get money for nothing and force her to get a job...

2- If the daycare laws would be that anyone that is on wellfare and capable of taking care of their children should do so, she would have to take her responsabilities and raise her son...

Children are always better off with their natural parents (unless those ARE real basket cases) and given the fact that our daycare system is suffering, everyone that can afford to stay at home with their children and chose to do so, should do their own babysitting jobs instead of taking advantage of what they don't really need!

The majority of couples can't afford a "stay at home Mom." (women have to work)... they are the ones who deserve the benefits of the public daycare!

Poor healthcare is better than NO healthcare at all...
Waiting 6 hours at the E.R. is better than not going at all!

But this is not a 3rd. world country and we are rich enough to have better services...
The money in the bag just has to be better distributed , damnit!
