Looking forward to reading this later, but just wanted to say I really like this sort of long form journalism for a couple of reasons. One, It sort of reminds me of what I liked about the Saturday G&M so many years ago (pre Internet) where there would be a big focus/feature section that would bridge the gap between far too weedy academic papers and a short "just the facts" article. And second, I want in my feed topics that I dont necessarily think about day to day that never the less I probably should have a passing bit of understanding of in order to better participate in society.
It is interesting that Quebec-style daycare over serves the affluent and well-connected while creating a backlog of demand amongst lower and middle income parents - for spaces that will never be provided while their children are young enough to use them. Classic socialism.

Why not give Canadian families the option in the form of a tax break rather than provide subsidized daycare centres? Madness.
