Day care means "higher labour market participation rates among women," More Canadians in the work force is good for business but contrary to common  perceptions it is detrimental to other Canadians.

First, a bigger work force means more competition for jobs  and thus lower pay. Thus it is counterproductive for Canadians to join the work force to increase their family pay. There will be more unemployment. More unemployment which means more welfare and thus more cost to the taxpayer. 

Taxpayers without children are paying for the education of children through all levels of education. Surely that is enough. Canadians with children in school or having attended school should say thanks to all taxpayers.

Finally as Wilkinson and Pickett have shown, a bigger economy does not mean better living conditions. It means more pollution. An outstanding example is the US, a very wealthy developed country and the worst living conditions in the developed world.

Enough. get gov't out of daycare.
