Hm I beg to disagree. Canadian business owner I speak with in privacy do not like the system. Many employers will try to infer and avoid a ''pregnancy risk'' by any legal mean possible. Why? A small business does not have time or ressources to deal with the constent team restructuration that a new baby causes. It does not matters how competent you are if you need a 6 month learning curve, then be replaced by a temporary contract, then be re-hired in 1 year. Saying otherwise is just SJW wishful thinking. I'm not against paid leave or work-family balance. But the current canadian system simply assumes that its cost does not exist because they are distributed, without thinking of the consequences. Its just bad populist policy, and make sexism the most economic choice for a lot of decision makers. My proposal : why can't we pay women for the work they actually do? Childcare and all that? Why can't we put ''raising a family'' as part of your linkedin profile? Dealing with babies certainly prepare you to deal with toxic coworkers.
