Reality is that we will all have our own set of experiences but it won't speak to all. I'd assume the demographics of someone living in the GTA to be extremely different to those living in Atlantic Canada, so straight away thats contrary to what you are saying. Some people probably don't need to worry as much as others, but Ontario providers have already just taken a massive hit to their livelihood, not simply because of the ratio changes, but because it's only just happened and we are in a very acute stage of dealing with the ramifications of that.
To clarify - you mean it unfair for me make generalisation and yet you doing same base on own location, market? There pro and con of all area. GTA has bigger pool potential client than small Atlantic region. Islander earn much lower income than GTA area and deal with lot illegal under table provider. As in any area, we each have adapt to own market demand. I sorry you feel that input from people outside GTA insignificant to you but Ontario provider not the poor cousin struggle with changes that rest of us not facing. Sure Bill 10 now in Ontario and only just happened, but you also had two year of knowing it coming and phase in of rules. If you not able to adapt to change in that time, then really, how long you need? Surely even before Bill 10 happened you would known that Ontario ratios much higher than rest country and could see that at some stage change coming.

I find sometimes you very condescending toward people outside your region. Very mistaken if you feel only Ontario provider's have issues. I will not comment on your post in future since it clear you only want select view. Maybe to avoid other carer comment being dismissed it be helpful to note in your post that you just want specific opinion not all view.

Good luck with your daycare. I'm sure in your provincial population of at least 6.054 million people you able find 5 client if islander provider with 146,283 in entire province able to do same.
