Yes. To be fair, the program started at the daycare they were already using; they could, of course, have moved.

It would be nice if the province left this sort of stuff to the federal government if there's supposed to be a bunch of nation-to-nation relationships with the federal government.

What I feel is a good summary of why Ten Dollar Day Care caters to the rich instead of the needy.

And it’s only available where it’s ‘offered’ by the service provider so is by no means universally available.

In fairness, the Poilievre-led CPC NEVER had a lead against that large against the LPC. He only briefly had a 20 point lead against the Trudeau led LPC, as soon as it became Carney-led, the gap narrowed big time (mixed with plenty of Orange man bad campaigning).
Now the real similarity is that Pierre was the best leader to defeat Trudeau. Switching faces so quickly and the ballot question was too much to overcome.
Eby was gearing himself up to defeat Kerri-Lynne Findlay and exploit Orange man bad, then she is gone and the complete opposite of Findlay is in charge. And people are not accepting Eby's Orange man bad. Or his lazy "tax the rich" nonsensical thinking (that attracts the commies at the university campuses and that is about it)

The BC Conservative Party, although quite welcome to beat the NDP, has quickly become a rotten organization loaded with corrupt and criminal diasporas who will be elected in large enough numbers that we will be trading Marxism for corruption, nepotism, scams and scandals and nothing will improve. Politics in BC and in Canada generally, needs the political equivalent of a powerful enema.

We have a Premier skimming $10/day daycare designed for single Mom's, with a family income of +$500k and somehow the Conservatives are nepotistic and corrupt...

Douglas Adams wrote about BC politics.
“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"

I didn’t say the NDP aren’t corrupt. I said the BCCP is corrupt.We have a Premier skimming $10/day daycare designed for single Mom's, with a family income of +$500k and somehow the Conservatives are nepotistic and corrupt...
This is the VP of the BC Conservative Party. He’s inserted himself as the BCCP candidate in Kelowna Lake Country. Of course he wasn’t vetted, because he’s the one in charge of vetting.

Points to one obvious place for Doerkson to find spending cuts in order to respond to Eby's demands for a costed plan.

Why should Doerkson be held to the standard of a costed budget plan?
The Eby NDP never bothered…

Allegedly in 2006, so 20 years ago and only allegedly. It says there was a Stay of Proceedings, so they have no criminal record and it was never even tested in court.
By that logic, we should throw Wab Kinew out of politics, who did at one time have a criminal record (they received a pardon a few years ago).
Having a criminal allegation against you ≠ corruption
How exactly is someone with no criminal record corrupt?
By your logic, Mark Norman, Dany Fortin, Mason Stalker and all the CAF senior officers who had criminal allegations brought against them are corrupt and we should throw them to the dogs.
I don't know what happened in this case, but as someone who believes in our legal system, I find the erosion of the principle of 'innocence until proven guilty' tiresome and frustrating.
