I’m not in Canada but childcare for our two children when they were little was $24k/year. I’d imagine its more like $30k/year now. We did not go overboard and buy the latest fad this or that, and used tons of hand me downs, but we absolutely needed childcare so that we both could work. Their afterschool, once they were old enough for public Elementary school, was around $10k/year for the two of them.
Does Canada provide free childcare? Would a couple, with each making $35k/year, qualify for free childcare? Otherwise I don’t see how $30k would cover one child from 0-12 years.

OP, if you are being sincere, you can give kbin a try. I’m writing this to you from kbin.social. You can subscribe to many different communities in Lemmy and magazines in Kbin and see them all in your kbin Subscribed feed. I have more content than I know what to do with.
If that doesn’t work for you, you could also try Squabbles, which has groups instead of communities and seems likable and very general interest.
If some companiea can offer fulltime or hybrid WFH to have an advantage in getting employees, some others will.offer 4 day workweeks to be competitive with other companies. Canada can start the trend.
I don’t think there’s a way to do this in Lemmy. I did this in Inoreader (until I decided to unfollow those subs completely).
OP, you can set up a RSS subscription to your fave Reddit sub. It might not give you all of the replies but it should give you the original post.
Also, there’s a RedditUpdates community (or magazine?).
I’m on kbin.social. We don’t have a saved feature AFAIK. I believe that our boosted posts are saved but it would be a lot to sift through (i boost a lot of posts).
So, to use this, I download F-droid to my Android device and then download Vimusic?
Or… to prevent being accused of duplicating Twitter. Being a Fediverse instance gives Meta some cover:

How do you browse a specific instance while logged into your (different) instance?
They went from 500 new users an hour to 4000 new users an hour in the past day. Im sure it’s all due to Twitter. Now, how many people will stick with it and become active users is anyone’s guess.
It takes a while to get it going. I go to the full federation feed and follow different users that I discover there, and also sometimes people that they follow… And I also follow some big news sources like Reuters. Eventually my followed feed has built up - it’s almost too many posts.
I follow some major news sources on Mastodon (Reuters, NYT, WaPo, Guardian, and more). Im in NYC so I also follow transit alerts, one of the main reasons I had previously used Twitter.
BlueSky is a private social media app and a direct competitor to Twitter. It was created by Jack Dorsey, formerly of Twitter, who encouraged and endorsed Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. (Maybe this was a brilliant double cross.) I think the one difference between Twitter and BlueSky is users of BS (ha, I wonder if they thought of this abbreviation when they named their app) can edit the algorithm on BlueSky.
ETA: More details here:
Mastodon went from around 500 new accounts per hour to 4k per hour since Twitter has been inaccessible. I think it’s a good thing.
How do younpay for these services? I’d imagine you might not want to use your credit cards.
