Costly government child care isn t a winning solution

There’s a big difference between making something affordable and playing a shell game with the costs. Unfortunately, the feds are choosing the latter with their new child-care program. The federal 2021 budget allocated $30 billion over the next five years towards a national child care program in an attempt to bring costs down for parents.

The budget says “it is time for the rest of Canada to learn from Quebec’s example.” We should indeed learn from Canada’s experience with government-run child care.

OPINION: O Toole s carbon taxes would come with big costs for families

This comes as a surprise and betrayal to a lot of people. When running for party leader, O’Toole signed the Canadian Taxpayers Federation pledge promising to scrap the carbon tax. It read: “I will: immediately repeal the Trudeau carbon tax; and, reject any future national carbon tax or cap-and-trade scheme.” O’Toole’s carbon tax on fuel and home heating would obviously break that promise.

It’s tucked into the regulations for fuel standards. When companies can’t meet Trudeau’s targets, they pay the tax and pass the cost on to consumers.

Millions of dollars have been gushing out of Laurentian University for years. And it’s not right to plug the holes with taxpayers’ cash. Laurentian University is facing a debt crisis of its own making, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s political opponents are calling on the government to come to its rescue. But before our politicians rush to throw taxpayer money at a university that is the epitome of financial mismanagement, they should consider a few sobering facts.
