It's summer in Montreal. The ducks are taking a dip in the pond, the plants are in full bloom -- but for Aandrianna Jacob, it's no walk in the park. Like many others, she's worried about climate change.
Oh, the government will help. Just they’ll do it in some miniscule or pointless way that makes you wonder if you’re doing something wrong because you barely see the benefits. There’s various tax refunds and whatnot, but they don’t come close to how expensive it is to have kids. Ontario claimed there’d be some kinda affordable childcare, but that never really happened (at least not in a way accessible to most). Wage stagnation is perhaps the biggest issue as it’s the root cause of why we can’t afford to have kids like older generations could. No government seems to give a shit about that.

Have your 100$ relief cheque. I’m sure this will go a long way, sir/madam!
