Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded to questions Tuesday on a possible child care agreement with the federal government, after Alberta on Monday joined seven other provinces and one territory for $10-a-day child care. “I’m not gonna be shortchanged,” he said, adding that Ottawa “needs to present us a proper deal.” Ontario’s education minister also said Monday that the province would be negotiating for more flexibility and sustainability.
