I've seen a few of these stories. Liberals making promises but not delivering.

Matthew Lau: Failing national daycare is Liberals’ fault, not anyone else’s
Ottawa's new $10-a-day daycare is causing shortages everywhere, not just in the Conservative provinces the federal Liberals want to blame
As the Trudeau government’s national child care plan proves to be an expensive
shambles, creating widespread shortages and destroying private child care businesses, Liberals and their supporters are trying to
scapegoat provincial governments, notably in
Alberta and Ontario where nominally Conservative governments are a politically convenient target. But while provincial implementation has often been poor, the national child care plan was doomed from the start and the Trudeau government must accept the blame for the program’s misguided vision and bad design.
The national program is failing, not only in Alberta and Ontario, but from coast to coast, including in NDP-governed British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador, whose provincial government is Liberal. In fact, Statistics Canada
reports that among families using child care, an astounding 67.2 per cent in Newfoundland and Labrador had difficulty finding care last year — higher than in any other province and double the 33.5 per cent who had trouble finding it in 2019.
This is a problem created, not only by government-inflated demand, but also by lower supply: the number of children aged 0-5 years using child care in Newfoundland and Labrador is
down by 20 per cent versus 2019. Meanwhile, the province second on the list for difficulty finding care is British Columbia, with 58.5 per cent of families using it saying they had trouble, up from 46.5 per cent in 2019 — also with fewer children in child care than pre-pandemic.
