Canadians want national child care (2) [CA]

EXCERPTS

Andrea Mrozek's assertion that the idea of a "national daycare system is truly passe" is ridiculous. She should try telling that to parents in Sweden, Denmark, France or Norway, where national systems of early learning and child care have been popular cornerstones of their social policy for more than 30 years.

Sounds to me like rumours of national child care's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
