On Monday I held my breath as my daughter attended her new daycare. I knew she would have no trouble playing with the other children, learning the routine of a new environment, or embracing the change. She is full of life, is very social, and loves other children. But I was worried about her anyway….

Can You See Love?
Can you see love? Can you touch it? Does it drift down with the breeze and fall in the lap of the lucky few? Is it delivered in the night and silently slid under the pillow of those who prayed hard enough? Does it arrive in the mail, postage marked “love,” ordered online and wrapped…
Ontario? Wake Up!
I love our daycare. I can’t tell you enough how safe I feel leaving my daughter in their capable hands. But, as I’ve mentioned, we can’t afford them. We were cut off from full subsidy five months ago, due to our income being too high, and in that time have accumulated $4,000 in debt because…

NO! If You Are Middle Class We Will NOT Help You!
Time stood still. Air particles, wind and my own breath remained frozen in space while the words that had just been spoken echoed in my ears. “Assistance cut.” She was obviously reading the wrong file; the wrong name had been picked up from the stack and this would be cleared up in a moment. We…
Ugly Thieving Trolls
Will there ever be enough? Just when the pot of silver fills up to the top, and you believe you might have succeeded in getting there, the plug is pulled. And standing at the spout with his bucket ready is the hungry troll. His eyes leering, boney hands dipping greedily into what was yours, and…
