| Topic | Did you know that Pregnant women get 1 YEAR Maternity Leave in Canada??? |

In the united states mothers only get 2-3 WEEKS at most to bond with their child and after that they must find arrangements asap and pay for babysitters after that...and those 2-3 weeks are UNPAID too! All of that depends on the employer. Some offer paid leave, others offer longer leaves (paid to a point then unpaid after), and others offer on-site child care. However, the US (and probably Canada as well) has a culture where -- depending on finances -- one partner will either stay home with the child or at least works reduced hours until the child hits a certain age. mrduckbear posted... Which do you think is the better idea? Given the employer hardships associated with paying them for just 2-3 weeks, it's a terrible idea. I imagine that Canada must have countless exemptions since a lot of the companies couldn't afford to stay in business if they needed to pay somebody 70% of their normal wage to stay at home for a year while paying another person 100% of that same wage to do their job (since, if somebody's going to be out an entire year, you *really* need to hire somebody else unless their job was completely superfluous -- for some jobs, they'll bring in a temp to cover just the 2-3 weeks that somebody is out). --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
