Contemporary expections for personal careers and the mode of modern work is fundamentally hostile to people/families having children. Legally mandating parental leaves aren't going to stop private sector businesses from subtly discriminating against new parents, and parents' work-life balance is tilted towards children for at least the first decade after childbirth.

Furthermore, extending child leave to both parents has done a lot to help fight stigma in Scandinavian countries. As has well funded, affordable child care for workers. Salaries in Montreal are garbage, but I'd consider working there because child care is heavily subsidized and very good. The break even tilts towards the rest of Canada at my pay-grade, but only just.
