Opinion: Restoring a Proper Labour Market Would Solve Ontario’s Long-term Care Woes

"The troubles we’re seeing are only the latest symptoms of the [long-term care] staffing shortage, created by a nightmarish cocktail of mutually reinforcing problems that the think tank Cardus has outlined before," write Brian Dijkema, vice-president of external affairs at Cardus, and Johanna Lewis, a public policy researcher.

Where Have All the Babies Gone?

Nearly half of women in Canada have fewer children than they want, writes Andrea Mrozek, a Cardus senior fellow. That's one of the key findings in a recent Cardus report that surveyed 2,700 women in Canada on fertility issues. She argues it would be a win just to acknowledge that Canadian women would like to have more children than they do.

"The problem is that the kind of child care that gets federal subsidies often doesn’t fit the lives of working-class families," argue Cardus's Renze Nauta, Peter Jon Mitchell, and Andrea Mrozek in this opinion piece. They write that the federal government ought to be "giving parents flexibility to choose the kind of child care that works for them."
