Today Mark Carney announced $630 million in childcare funding coming to BC through a new Canada-BC Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. This augments the existing bi-lateral childcare agreement. Should be good news! #10adaychildcare #ChildCareBC

Ottawa is adding an additional $5.4B for child care to sustain its national program over the next 2 years. GUEST: @sharongregson.bsky.social pdst.fm/e/traffic.me...

Too funny to hear @jmcelroy.bsky.social refer to local politicians “congealing” around an issue!!

And wherever you are in Canada, please support the $10-a-Day Child Care campaign and the organizations advocating for a strong, universal child care system: www.10aday.ca To every early childhood educator: thank you. You deserve our gratitude, our respect, and our support.

Thank you for your patience, kindness, creativity, and genuine love. If you’re in BC, please take a few minutes to complete the provincial child care survey and speak up for quality, affordable child care and better support for educators: feedback.engage.gov.bc.ca/829274?lang=en

My youngest daughter has officially graduated from her daycare. ❤️ To mark the occasion, a group of parents chipped in to create this plaque as a small token of our appreciation for the incredible teachers who have cared for our children over the years.

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social truly cannot believe such a youthful (fun, lively, irreverent) person could be retiring. Enjoy what comes next Lisa! Thanks for all the early morning laughs!

The Canada-Wide Child Care program is a Major Project that Prime Minister Carney should be investing in. Many of his Major Projects appear to be somewhat male-oriented, this one dramatically helps women overcome the barriers that hold them back in the workforce. childcarepolicy.net/child-penalt...

The pause on expanding $10aDay childcare signals an inflection point for a system already strained by high fees, limited access & educator wage concerns. Advocates say the freeze only works if the province uses it to rebuild a model that is fairer to families and workers. @futureofgood.bsky.social

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is headed to Greenland this week to open a new Canadian consulate in the territory.

We touch on news of the week including the Alberta separatism movement and the Trump administration, backlash on Canadian businesses in deals with ICE. And a lot of love for the people of Minnesota reminding us about the very best of humanity as they face the worst. youtu.be/hZfzoQxBvBw?...

Wise words for government echoed by @judydarcy.bsky.social in her new book, “They should focus on legacy programs that voters would remember them for. And they shouldn’t abandon their base.” #10adaychildcare @davidebybc.bsky.social

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Advocates call for federal, provincial governments to strengthen child-care system

Today in Ottawa, child care advocates raised serious concerns about possible cuts to Canada’s $10-a-day system. Workers can’t work without child care. We must protect it, expand it and invest in it. #ChildCareNow #cdnpoli Watch the press conference: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

At the 2026 FPT Ministers Forum on #ELCC early learning and child care, #Yukon Minister of Education Scott Kent advocated with #NWT and #Nunavut ministers for more federal funding support for families across the #North: Read more: www.canada.ca/en/employmen...

100 organizations co-signed a letter to the Ministers responsible for early learning and child care, in advance of their meetings on January 30th. The joint letter calls on all levels of government to strengthen the $10aDay child care system.

Child-care advocates called Friday on the federal and provincial governments to commit to strengthening the $10-a-day system, as the ministers responsible met in Ottawa.

Today we joined Child Care Now at Parliament Hill calling for federal & provincial governments to re-commit to #10aDayChildCare and fund a solution to the waitlist crisis, including fair wages for educators & more non-profit spaces. Read more: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
