With regard to child care and whether it's accessible, it isn't. Actually the waiting lists are extremely long. When you have a spot in day care, you hold onto your spot for dear life, because as soon as you let it go, there are another 200 people behind you wanting that spot. That's for infants all the way up to school age. If you're trying to work because social assistance workers are saying your kid is over the age of six and you need to work, but you don't have anyone to provide before-school care, lunch-time care, or after-school care, then how are you supposed to work to support yourself and your children? It's impossible.
