Do the math.
Quebec introduced subsidized day-care in 1997.
What's the biggest news story out of Quebec today? College students rioting in the streets over the fact that their tuition is going up.
Most of the civilized world cranks up tuition for college students on a regular basis. After all, the kids might as well learn young that every time they make a move to improve themselves the system is going to be right there to extract a huge financial toll.
What happens?
Nothing. A lot of grumbling but nothing changes and the students reluctantly pay up.
Not in Quebec. All of a sudden the momentum of the soak-the-students movement is broken.
Those Quebecois are leading the way.
And if you did the math you already know that the first generation of North American college students to reject tuition increases are also the first generation of North American's who had the benefit of subsidized day care.
Case closed.
