In December 2015, Canadians learned that two nannies had been hired as part of the Prime Minister’s publicly-funded household to help care for his three children aged 8, 6 and 2. The media storm that ensued ranged from negative commentary calling for the PM to cover his child care costs himself and Opposition accusations of “hypocrisy” to gender analysis, discussion of the need for national child care for other Canadians too and comment on the undervaluing of child care givers. This collection of news and commentary presents opinion from both sides of this story.
