Unfortunately, that’s at the federal level. Private companies are beholden to the provincial employment laws. A good example is Ontario, which had paid sick days but was repealed in 2018.
And Ontarians haven’t learned their lesson over the last 8 years of Dough boy Ford at the helm. He will likely be re-elected and continue to damage the province. The Canadian Conservatives are a fucking disgrace and I wish more people would recognize how shitty they actually are.
I often forget how bad my country folk have it in some places. I’m going to doxx myself a bit here.
I’m a service member in Canada. In my first 5 years of service I received 20 payed annual leave days. After 5 years of service I received 25. At a later date I will receive thirty.
I get every single federal holiday as well as provincial holiday for the province I’m posted to.
At any given time I can request up to 2 days of sick leave/mental health days without a doctor’s note. After that I can be given any number of days off signed by a doctor.
If I have a death in the immediate family I can receive 7 days or more of grievance and compassionate leave authorised by a chaplain or my commanding officer.
Further to this, I get 100% dental coverage,my family gets 85%. I get $80k to go to university, $10k for professional development or college courses as well as a whole plethora of other benefits like free eye exams and subsidised glasses.
I want this for all of my countrymen. My (often conservative) countrymen do not want this for themselves. Why? The fact I get all this shows that the Canadian Government is willing to give these benefits to any Canadian. But they don’t. Why?
I get these benefits because I was too young and dumb to do anything with my life but join the army?

Good point. I’m in private industry as well but it is federally regulated.
