Episode 3: Childcare Paradigm Shift

Objection!

Fed up with what felt like a mug’s game of searching for a daycare spot for her son, lawyer Nadine Blum says “enough is enough” when daycare providers asked for fees, just to get on their waitlist. With her colleague Kelly Doctor, she sets out to change the law, only to realize that long lasting change will require a fundamental shift about who we think childcare is for. Childcare advocate Sarah Ehrhardt contrasts her experience as a parent in Sweden and in Toronto, and lawyer Louis Century provides insight into how international law could be used as a tool to build a better childcare system.
