I have a letter in this mornings London Free Press that I think right-thinking people here will enjoy.
I’ve added some of the things they deleted from my letter in its original draft.
I wonder why they got rid of these two words? Actually, I can guess why. “Executive” denotes a higher level of authority or influence and “communist”, well, that’s just a word we don’t use when we describe socialists (because “socialist” has a nice, soft-porn, slightly out-of-focus, gentle ring to it that tells us that these people care about society)
National day care harmful socialism
Several accomplished London executive directors have finally chimed in on national day care with the letter, Canada needs real national child care (March 30).
This collaboration is pure hypocrisy and communist propaganda. These idealistic socialists tell us plugging our children into state-run kiddie gulags is the key to life-long success, but they don’t bother to explain how they have enjoyed success without being the products of a national system.
Not all parents want national child care. Many of us want the primary role of parent, not taxpayer. We want choice. Having unionized workers in a state-run, secular system mandated to promote sanitized, atheistic values runs contrary to what many parents want for their children. Another horrific consequence would come when children learn the state is responsible for raising them and, eventually, raising their children.
What happens when unionized day-care workers go on strike as they are preparing to do in Quebec right now?
If we want to preserve the freedom to raise our children according to our values and protect ourselves from labour disputes, we need to reject any plans to maintain a national day-care system.

The letter I am referring to was signed by about 8 executive directors of various child-oriented organizations around London.
