Doug Ford's cuts put over 6,000 subsidized daycare spaces at risk, Toronto warns May 2, 2019,
City manager Chris Murray emailed Mayor John Tory and Toronto's 25 councillors the grim bombshell, the result of city staff number-crunching, on Thursday.
Premier Doug Ford's child-care cuts and policy changes are expected to cost the City of Toronto $84.8 million this year alone and jeopardize 6,166 subsidized daycare spaces for low-income parents, according to city staff calculations.
"Ask Torontonians what makes life unaffordable; it's housing and child-care," said Councillor Gord Perks before details in the city manager's email were known.
