Episode 31 "Let's Talk Child Care" - The $10aDay Child Care Campaign grew out of partnership between the Early Childhood Educators of BC and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC to create a affordable, accessible and quality child care system for British Columbians.
Carlos sits down with Sharon Gregson, spokesperson for the $10aDay campaign, to discuss the history of this campaign, how the plan works and why it has now become one of the key election issues politicians are now being forced to address.
Carlos explores the minimum wage as he interviews Canadian Centre For Policy Alternative's Senior Economist and Public Interest Researcher Iglika Ivanova.
Iglika and Carlos discuss the complexities of minimum wages, the real cost of having so many British Columbians working below the poverty line and how wages fit into the poverty reduction strategy proposed by groups such as the @Poverty Reduction Coalition.
