Nice to bribe somebody else with my money - I've already paid for my share of day care.

Ontario budget to fund free child care for preschoolers as part of $2.2B plan
In a bid to deal with Ontario’s high child care costs, the Wynne government will offer free licensed care for preschoolers at an average saving of $17,000 per child. (Except that that child will be paying for it later in life, of course)
“The job of a parent has become harder in the current economy,” (And it just got harder due to the increased tax bill) Wynne told parents at Nelson Mandela Park Public School in Regent Park about the plan, which will begin in 2020. “So families need this kind of support and insurance more than ever and we need to deliver it.”
Even Red Star readers aren't buying it. A poll embedded in the article shows:
Yes - We have needed free licensed child care. 36.91% (8,875 votes)
No - This is a last ditch effort by Kathleen Wynne. 57.38% (13,799 votes)
Unsure - Daycare funding is important, but not an important issue for me. 5.71% (1,373 votes)
