Child care benefit flawed
TheStar.com – Opinion/Readers’ Letters – Re: Child care: seriously off-target, Editorial April 2

As a broad coalition of groups committed to eradicating child and family poverty in Canada, we have always maintained that Canada’s strategy to end poverty must include a universally accessible system of child care in addition to income security measures like the Canada Child Tax Benefit and its National Child Benefit Supplement for low and modest income families.
The combined CCTB/NCBS serves more than 90 per cent of children in Canada. The Universal “Child Care” Benefit is neither a child care program that supports the development of services that families desperately want and need nor a truly progressive income support.
Instead of enhancing the UCCB, a misguided approach in which families with incomes of $20,000 and those with $200,000 receive the same cheque each month, the federal government should work with the provinces, territories and indigenous communities to establish a Canada-wide system of child care services and increase the CCTB/NCBS, a truly progressive benefit in which the eligible families with lowest incomes receive the maximum benefit (about $3,800 per year) and the wealthiest families receive the least (as little as $120 per year).
That’s a fair approach that helps to recognize the cost of raising children, begins to close the inequality gap for children and is smart spending.

However, it is virtually all done with tongues rooted solidly in cheeks, and everyone has absolutely nothing but absolutely love for his or her friendly neighborhood scapegoat. The truth is, he is not just a pushover. He is basically that special variety of person strong enough to take all of that good natured ribbing for exactly what it is.
Does it look like we’re in for a big ride here?

You are one talented writer thank you for the post.
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing in your feed and I am hoping you write again very soon!
I want to see your book when it comes out.
We absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome weblog!
Oh my goodness! an amazing article. Great work.
You need to really control the comments listed here
If most people wrote about this subject with the eloquence that you just did, I’m sure people would do much more than just read, they act. Great stuff here. Please keep it up.
Αν έχεις ήδη αποφασίσει να φύγεις από τις πλατφόρμες με ελληνική άδεια ΕΕΕΠ, η ερώτηση δεν είναι «αξίζει;» αλλά «ποια από αυτές αξίζει περισσότερο;». Ελέγξαμε 15 διεθνείς στοιχηματικές εταιρείες που λειτουργούν στην Ελλάδα το 2026: ανοίξαμε λογαριασμούς με ελληνικά στοιχεία, δοκιμάσαμε καταθέσεις με κάρτα και κρυπτονόμισμα, και μετρήσαμε τον πραγματικό χρόνο ανάληψης. Το βασικό κίνητρο για τους περισσότερους είναι πρακτικό: οι διεθνείς πλατφόρμες δεν εφαρμόζουν αυτόματη παρακράτηση φόρου επί των κερδών, δεν κόβουν λογαριασμούς που κερδίζουν συστηματικά και προσφέρουν ευρύτερη γραμμή με περισσότερα αθλήματα. Οι εταιρείες που ακολουθούν δέχονται εγγραφή από την Ελλάδα, η πρόσβαση στον ιστότοπο δεν απαιτεί VPN και κανένας από αυτούς δεν βρίσκεται στον κατάλογο αποκλεισμένων τοποθεσιών της ΕΕΕΠ κατά την τελευταία επικαιροποίηση.
