child-care deal.The province stands to lose more than a billion dollars in federal funding if a deal isn’t struck.Ontario remains the only jurisdiction in the country to not pen a deal with the Trudeau government for $10-a-day childcare.

The Ford government has maintained the federal offer to the province of $10.2 billion is not enough to deliver the program.If the province doesn’t sign a deal by end of the fiscal year, March 31, it risks losing more than $1 billion in first year funding.The federal minister in charge of the program has said repeatedly that the Ford government still needed to submit an action plan to enter negotiations.

In a statement to Global News, a spokesperson for Minister Karina Gould said the province only submitted the plan late last week.

Doug Ford says Ontario close to child-care deal; province is last to strike an agreement “The submission of the first draft of the Action Plan has allowed for negotiations to move to the next phase,” said the statement.For months, both Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce have said a deal is close to being made, but they aren’t going to make a deal for the sake of saying so.

Poll: Philadelphians are more pessimistic than they have been in over a decade

PHILADELPHIA - A new poll from the Pew Research Center found that Philadelphia residents are the most pessimistic they have been in over a decade. Researchers found that 63% of people polled believe that Philadelphia is on the wrong track, with gun violence receiving the lion's share of the blame. According to the latest data from the Philadelphia Police Department, there have been 127 homicides in the city this year which outpaces a historically bloody 2021. "A lot of evidence that crime has gone up, and it makes people very frustrated, very scared, and very at a loss of what to do about it," Attorney and CEO of Advocate To Win Heather Hansen said.U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams stopped by Good Day Philadelphia to discuss the ‘All Hands on Deck’ initiative that focused local, state, and federal law enforcement efforts on stopping gun violence.She believes that the COVID-19 pandemic secluded people from societal norms of behaving with courtesy, as evident by a violence spike in hospitals and airplanes. "It’s in large part because we’ve forgotten how to be patient, how to wait, how to interact in public," Hansen said.Philadelphians exhausted and frightened by the constant threat of violence, drugs and other street crimes would like to see more police, according to the poll. "I’m just concerned," said Jeff Benson, who has a daughter that lives in Philadelphia.
