I mean, spending 80% percent of your salary budget to get 0% of the teaching done. Not very good math! Not to mention, you know, lots of teachers are also parents. You're subsidizing the most vulnerable strikers.

also they're preemptively defusing the number one weapon that gets deployed against striking teachers which is "think of the children and the poor families that have to spend on childcare" but if the province is giving parents subsidies to help them find childcare then that solves both those problems and the teachers can strike forever

I have a strong premonition that this anti-strike strategy will backfire and the Ontario government will either not honour or at some part abruptly cancel this compensation program.

it is on it's face incredibly illconsidered and counter productive (for the government), so you might be tempted to think there's some angle here we're just not seeing. but then you realize this is the ford government and it's entirely possible that they are just doing something incredibly stupid for terrible reasons

probably, but since a lot of the pressure against the strike is from parents complaining that they have to pay for child care, subsidizing that seems counter productive if you want to keep the pressure on the teachers union. spending almost as much to do it as you do on paying the teachers anyway is just icing on the cake really

maybe the commentariat got burned out after calling for war with russia nonstop from 1945-91 so now theyve moved on to easier targets anyway iran is considered a safe target for a war because it wont affect america, but russia is big and scary, remember how much "clinton wants to start a war with russia" was a line in favour of isolationist trump in 2016
