“In Regina, certain RCANN endorsed candidates were still able to pull close to 40 percent of the vote. While in mostly two-way races this level of support was insufficient, we only need to imagine a more crowded field where this could deliver victory.”

SK not on target for promised space creation: Saskatchewan had promised to create 22,767 new child care spaces by 2024-25. Instead, the government managed to create only 5,648 new full-time spaces by that date. 2/6.

Canada’s $10-a-day child care program isn't creating enough spaces to meet demand and isn't doing enough to make sure that new spaces are non-profit
