When prices are sky high, instead of giving away housing, make what we work for count for something. We pay loads of money to rent, you can start putting caps on rent to help but I think, our years of renting should be worth something. Why can't the rent we pay on time, go towards our credit? Why can't that credit be used to buy homes. Our rent we pay should count for something!

Canada is crying out for emergency service workers, but all day cares are set for 9-5 jobs.. but all emergency service work, and health care jobs are shift work based. Whereby excluding people who have children, to fill this demand. I had to give up a full time union job with benefits because day cares aren't open weekends or evenings..

So now my rent is harder to make, and worthless for my future, and my dreams of owning a home seem hopless because I don't have my full time job anymore.

I won't want a handout, I want to be able to use the skills I have to create a better future for my family, and it's frustrating when my efforts are hobbled by a broken system.
