I was just thinking it would be beneficial to email/contact other providers on Kijiji and daycare bear (tons of providers never bother with the forum) with a quick blurb about what is happening. Just something copy and pasted with contact info for MPPs etc.

I've changed my status on FB addressing all of this and already had one mom say her daycare will shut down if it passes. Those of you with a Facebook account make good use of it to spread the word!

My friend told me that if she didn't think I'd be targeted, she'd recommend that I contact the media myself and invite them to my daycare. What if everyone started doing that? Hmmmmm.....actually show parents what a daycare can look like. Unfortunately, I'm having facial surgery next week that's going to leave me hiding in the bell tower for a couple weeks. Still....I thought it was a good idea.

I have already Fun & Care. Even my Mum is spreading the word. She's been reading up and I'm filling in the blanks. Bless her Awesome New Guy has listened to 2 solid days of my ranting. Tonight, no rants. Just a big glass of wine and some emails to politicians.

I think most parents won't do much on our behalf until it affects them. Human nature.

I was thinking about doing this too. It could open some parents eyes.
