TORONTO – The funding provided by the Province of Ontario to child-care facilities, is changing. On the one hand, the provincial government will cover the real costs of childcare (taking up the appeal of many structures that had said they had difficulty keeping their doors open), on the other, families will see fees reduced to send their children their children (under 6 years of age) in nurseries.

TORONTO – Altro che “paladino dei diritti umani”: il Canada ha “leggi e politiche che consentono lo sfruttamento dei lavoratori vulnerabili”, in Canada “non tutti hanno gli stessi diritti”, le minoranze sono prive di tutele e, più in generale, l’intero programma canadese per i lavoratori temporanei stranieri costituisce un “terreno fertile per la schiavitù contemporanea”…
