Today's the day

Today is the day when child care centres large and small across Kamloops will withdraw services for the day. Whether it's the right thing to do or not, people are going to have to take notice of the fact that daycare providers are desperate for change. Not the kind of change that Betty Hinton and Stephen Harper have given them -- calling it "giving parents a choice" when $100 per month (taxable) gives struggling families no choice at all.

Child tax credit is a joke unto itself. How kind of the government to toss a few pennies to families every year.Were supposed to grovel at their feet with gratitude. Why not keep the CTC and stop taxing the snot out of people with kids in the first place.Apparently these mental midgets in politics cant do math.As kids get older they cost more but as kids get older CTC is reduced and you lose the pitiful 100$,then youre taxed on it on top of that,what kind of crap is that. FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN ARE BEING TAXED TO DEATH,ITS DISCRIMINATION.This country is proving itself to be anti-family and anti-children more and more all the time.The average family can no longer afford a home.Just mabe if families werent taxed so much,kids wouldnt be fat,they wouldnt be neglected because the parents would be able to afford to do better for them. Mabe its time for daycare to be 100% funded.Other countries are paying moms to stay home with their kids because they see the benefit.Canada would rather blow money on kissing chinas butt and turn a blind eye to the human and animal rights abuses.Meanwhile were expected to accept their made in China junk while factories in Canada close.Canada would rather fund lunatics who paint with their poo instead of making sure kids are fed properly. WHY DONT KIDS GET FREE DENTAL.They cant because a criminal in jail doesnt feel like a man and thinks that the public should pay for him to be changed into a woman.People should be encouraged to have kids.Do you want someone wiping your ass who cant speak english, in your old age.I'm getting the impression that animals have better parenting instincts and over all compassion than politicians.Look at Campbell and his cuts,people killed themselves,kids are dying in foster care,elderly couples were forced to live apart,they were devastated and many died,people are dying in hospital hallways.As far as I'm concerned that loser should be in jail for MURDER.Then he gets off on drunk driving charges.Meanwhile hes living a life of luxury.Politicians suck,in every way shape and form,they lie,cheat and steal.When is there going to be accountability.We have a country that can afford to pay for radical feminists to have their own ministry but cant give a war veteran false teeth.We have a country that allows asian gangs and criminals to stay and wreak havock yet they ship hard working families back to their own country.
We have a country that is too chicken shit to say,if you come here you adapt to our ways,instead kids are force fed a diet of multiculturalism instead of strong Canadian family values.
We have a country of limp wristed panty waist judges who allow pedophiles to walk the streets and live in communities with children.WE KILL ANIMALS WHO ATTACK CHILDREN BUT WONT DO THE SAME WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE WORSE THAN ANIMALS...IN FACT I WONT EVEN INSULT THE ANIMAL KINGDOM BY COMPARING THESE THINGS TO ANIMALS.I'm begining to think that our justice system is full of pedophiles,since theyre so bent on setting them free when they know they will re-offend..
We have a country that has embarassed itself royally with the seal slaughter but do ya think that fishing will slow down,if anything those seals will starve to death because of human GREED. Whales eat just as much fish as seals.Killing seals is more politically correct than killing whales so its okay.Mabe its time for fishermen to get new jobs instead of decimating fish stocks.
Mabe its time for the public to take over the political stystem instead of rich snotty airheads who have no idea what its like live paycheque to paycheque.This country has become a national JOKE.
This country is going to continue on a downward spiral untill they are willing to do more to support families and children.Untill then,mabe its time to call for an all out boycott of Canada.
For all of you pollitically correct fart faces who dont like this.I tried to see things your way but I couldnt get my head that far up my ass.

Wow! (anonymous poster) talked about everything except 'same-sex marriages'.
I will try to be a little more 'tolerant' and (hopefully) stay on one or two topics.
Okay, first thing is regarding the developing Daycare Protest (as I type this). No, I will not be there. Several reasons. I am a single father with full-time custody of my son. He is under the age of 3 and I wish to spend as much time as possible with him, especially during these first few 'precious' years.
I am 'off work' right now also because I cannot secure (any type of) childcare/daycare. I/we will not be at the Ralley because it is too 'distant' from our day to day routines and it will likely not be in our own best of interest. Why?
Well of course I support the aims and initiatives of our own local Kamloops daycare facilities and staff. However, the primary concern (from my own experiences) is NOT the fact that (such and such) funding has been 'rescinded', but the fact that there are too few available spaces and THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE GO TO THE DIKs of this city, (dual income - kids), while the SIK's, (single-income - kids) are placed at the BOTTOM OF ANY WAIT-LISTS. You can try to prove me wrong but I have been waiting 15 months so far and will absolutely have to go back to work by early May. Then what?? Before (minister) Richmond began his 'vendetta' against single parents with kid(s), most parents could (choose to) remain at home with children under 6 (as necessary).
A family consisting of BOTH parents working away from home, and 'netting' over $50. thousand per year can either afford to PAY for their own childcare, HIRE a nanny, etc. to come into their home, OR (better yet) have ONE PARENT do the responsible thing by staying at home with kid(s) at LEAST until youngest is into kindergarten. Then this (loving parent) can resume (his or her) 'precious career'. That allows plenty of potential 'working years' to plan for future investing, etc. It worked in the sixties through the eighties and it can definitely work today.
Anyone who disagrees with my 'logic' has the right to do so but the fact remains that Daycare is being 'swallowed-up' by the 'affluent' while the 'needy' are being IGNORED. If you truly LOVE YOUR CHILDREN, you will personally CHOOSE TO STAY AT HOME WITH THEM, as long as it is financially 'feasable' of course.
I personally know of families with very young kids and both parents work full time and (combined) they 'gross' over six figures. They may call it 'planning ahead' or 'providing for their children' but I call it nothing more than GREED! Perhaps these are the parents most affected by today's Daycare Protest and isn't THAT ironic - and unfortunate.
Thank-you.

The subject of same sex marriage would require far too much writting.I wont even get started on the subject of the gays going through the curiculum to make sure there is no "homophobia".I will say that if my kids are forced to participate in gay studies of any kind I will be pulling them out.Schools cant figure out why student enrolement is dropping,well it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out why.When people with an agenda start stepping on parents toes AND violate our rights a parents to teach them how we see fit,there is a problem and we arent going to roll over and accept it..meanwhile gays are free to bash fat people and its okay.Just a tad hypocritical.

You have high hopes if you think your kids will wipe your ass when you are old.

But dont worry, there will be a crowd of protestors outside City Hall when you are old seeking federal assistance for ass-wipers

I believe this person is refering to kids growing up and getting jobs in nursing ect.Obviously by your reaction youre too daft to figure that out on your own.
