In Canada, both eldercare issues and children's issues are at the forefront right now. Seniors in long-term care facilities in my province are trying to get by on $5.46 Canadian/day as their meal allowance (that's about $5/US). And the Federal government eliminated the previous government's massive commitment to a national childcare program in favor of a $100/month payment to families (undoing about two decades worth of lobbying and hard work on behalf of all those who care about children). On top of that, funding to women's programs has been cut back (and funding to those involved in research/lobbying has been virtually eliminated). See http://www.onewomanoneblog.com for summaries/updates on these issues. (You can go to my parenting blog, too, but my other blog is more focused on what is (or isn't) happening on the social justice front in Canada.)Ann Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287853845161180133noreply@blogger.com
