David Eby is not the problem—it’s our childcare system that’s the real scandal

The news “broke” this past weekend that B. C. Premier David Eby has access to not one but two spaces in the province’s beleaguered system of subsidized childcare. His wife is a doctor, and he is premier. By any possible measure, this is not a low-income family.
Many are outraged, most especially his political opponents. And it is indeed shocking that a household with an income so deep into six figures would pay $10-a-day per child for daycare, a service that before 2018 was routinely $60-a-day per child (a cost that was itself also subsidized). It is particularly galling when so many Canadians with far lower incomes than his are on wait lists.

A moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris summed up where soccer sits in culture today
There was a moment during Jay-Z’s recent concert in Paris that, for me, pretty much summed up where football sits in culture today. There wasn’t a ball being kicked. There wasn’t a match being played. Jay-Z walked onto the stage at the Stade de France wearing a one-of-a-kind, black-and-white, football-inspired shirt — by Louis Vuitton, designed by Pharrell — with the number 30 on the back marking 30 years since Reasonable Doubt.
