Ontario Caregivers - daycare announcement due today

[cfred]

That's the issue I'm having with this whole thing. It's truly unfair that we're all lumped into the same category. I feel that we've all been vilified by the media. The government, I believe, has stood by and let it happen without any word whatsoever in this regard because it takes the heat off them for a job very poorly done on their part. Regardless of the rules in place (some of which I agree with, some I don't), this is just another instance in which we are shown as providers, once again, that there is no one in our corner. After 20 years in this business, both licensed and unlicensed, not much has changed. We still don't have any protection. We still don't have public or government support. We still are not valued in any capacity of the business. The fact that a garbage man has more earning potential than those who raise this country's children is a very sad commentary of where we stand in the pecking order.
