No, encourage stay-at-home parenting

We live in a patriarchal society; when Canada started doing "women in non traditional trades" they left out the other half of the equation which was to teach men how to multi task. Child rearing needs to be revered instead of being viewed as 'less than'. It is not just a universal child tax, we need a complete overhaul of wages to reflect the importance and tax breaks for people choosing to raise their own children instead of farming that out to a daycare.

A percentage, based on income

No, women belong in the kitchen and should take care of her children at home

Government should provide free day care to all children. Daycare shouldn't be something parents have to pay out of pocket for.

Their federal government should subsidize child care for families that meet a mindful and appropriate guideline for need, which isn’t always limited to low income families. Families with more than three children should not qualify for subsidized child care, unless the family is blended or the third pregnancy resulted in multiples that are not the product of IVF. Private day care should continue to be available to families who choose it.

Should be a provincial responsibility

AOC Sparks Backlash After Ditching Gender Pronouns

Famously progressive Democrat congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised eyebrows by removing her pronouns from her X account. The move from Squad lawmaker, 35, seen as one of the most liberal members of Congress, was seen by some as a sign that the cultural tide is turning following Donald Trump's election win. Journalist Benjamin Ryan said records showed AOC removed her 'she/her' pronouns sometime between August 3, 2023, and May 28, 2024. Critics branded her a hypocrite, and noted that just two years ago AOC apologized to followers for not having pronouns in her Instagram bio, claiming they 'fell off' and she didn't realize. Conservatives were quick to mock AOC after it was realized that she had removed the pronouns from her account bio. Some also noted that she changed her moniker from the genderless 'Representative' to 'Congresswoman' as she removed her pronouns. Ocasio-Cortez has long been a supporter of transgender rights, including so-called gender-affirming care for children, and transgender girls competing in female sports.But the Democrats more extreme stances were blamed as a massive vote loser for Kamala Harris in the recent election.An advert showing her supporting taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgeries for illegal migrant prisoners was played on repeat by Team Trump.Many Dems' insistence that opposing hormones for trans children or banning trans girls from joining female sports teams was transphobic further alienated centrists.Immigration and inflation were the issues that ultimately swung the election for Donald Trump, but the Dems' unpopular trans stance has now forced a reckoning within the party.
