Licensed by the province, taught by certified teachers. <br /><br />Many of my Quebec-dwelling colleagues have kids in the $7 daycare in our building, and are welcome to go downstairs and have lunch with their kiddos anytime they like. Also very civilized. (the daycare 'round here, and in most but not all parts of QC, is 100% in French).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-34963309829674051922012-06-11T08:53:11.188-05:002012-06-11T08:53:11.188-05:00Canada also has paid parental leave - 9 months at ...Canada also has paid parental leave - 9 months at 96% of your salary! For use by either parent (I got to stay home when my wife had Kid#3) or that can be split however your want between both parents, i.e. mom & dad can split the 9 mos.<br /><br />Women are also entitled to an additional 3 mos (also 96% of salary) of medical leave following the birth of a baby.<br /><br />It is VERY civilized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-35108129918518760772012-06-11T08:25:32.207-05:002012-06-11T08:25:32.207-05:00Canada has much better support services available ...Canada has much better support services available to parents. <br /><br />You have a years unemployment insurance AND your job to return to (obviously you had to be employed (they can't fire you for being pregnant). <br /><br />You get a monthly well baby check (originally created to ensure milk money). <br /><br />You have extremely low cost or no cost universal health care. <br /><br />Some provinces / perhaps all provinces assist with day care expenses. <br /><br />There are checks to refund the GST tax to lower income groups. <br /><br />Sure I am missing other services.<br /><br />None of the above would be what is considered welfare in the states - they are income based and apply to both single and married parents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-54811897070019725322012-06-11T06:15:35.626-05:002012-06-11T06:15:35.626-05:00We can be sorry if the babies are being aborted.
