About Progress and the Wish for a Better World

"Last December I was at Parkside Academy for the launch of some of the first $10 a day child care prototype spaces in B.C. and the families there spoke about how life changing this was for them. One parent spoke about no longer having to visit the food bank every week, another father said he would be able to quit his second job on weekends and have time to spend with his family. It was an emotional day and their stories only strengthened my commitment to see a full universal child care system implemented province wide."

 Some quotes from Doug Routley's New Year Letter.

 I print this because, with all the "news" coverage and power trips, how we help the people is the best way to judge what we are doing and how we are doing.
