That’s honestly a cute way to frame it that isn’t just picking a fight. And oof, those rounded “oh” sounds make me blush. Guess I just was in Manitoba at an impressionable age.
why is he always on threads
The 18 month mat leave pays like shit and then you get strapped with impossible to find child care afterwards
God forbid someone shed light that mat leave in Canada isn’t as great as Simu is making it seem on his post here. I’ll remember to never question him again your presence. All hail Simu, genius man who says and does no wrong
18 months at below minimum wage
*women
Idk if our healthcare system is anything to envy but I wouldn’t replace it with what the US has
I literally heard from a US colleague that his wife was sidelined in the company after taking maternity leave of a meagre 2-3 months and now stays at home to take care of their kids.
I’m sure there are laws for this stuff but Americans can comment how enforceable they are but this is what I heard.
I thought 18 month mat leave was for federal employees??
spicy simu is so hot lol
Look, Canadian health care isn’t perfect, I doubt any country’s health care will ever be… but it’s pretty damn good. I’ve had open heart surgery, and that came with a lot of prep. None of it cost a dime.
Wait, I chose to pay for anaesthesia to get my wisdom teeth out, but that whole procedure was still covered anyway because it was deemed a medical necessity. That’s pretty sweet lol.
Health care? We have rolling ER closures and people are dying while waiting to be treated. Covid fucked everything up. EVERYTHING.
Well what can one say? BURN but softly
Canadian healthcare might not be perfect, but I’d take it over a lot of other country’s any day! Love Simu always repping Canada 🇨🇦
18 Months?? The U.S. is a hellhole…..
Love that response
The diversity of Canadian women is truly very “peak”, not to boast or seem conceited. Anyway, there’s an asterisk on the 18 month mat leave, given that there are factors like sharing the leave with the other parent and the restrictions on EI (employment insurance) benefits. Canada should be doing more, Quebec offers the most generous benefits but even Quebec would rank around 17th to 15th (out of 41 wealthy nations) in this [UNICEF report](https://www.unicef.ca/en/press-release/canada-ranks-middle-pack-family-friendly-policies-among-wealthy-countries). Being better than the States at a certain statistic isn’t much. Anyway, Canadian healthcare is amazing and should always be protected! Shout out Tommy Douglas.
I love him. And while I realize our healthcare is far from perfect…I’ll take it over having to pay hundreds over a simple doctor visit any day!
That first tweet ain’t wrong either! There’s a reason Toronto has been a favourite in the NBA for players of the visiting teams haha
Are we up to 18 months now?
That’s great IMO, it was only 6 months when my first kid was born and I was so happy when they extended it to a year in time for our second.
At my last job I worked with a lot of Americans and it was shameful how they had two weeks of maternity leave before coming back to work.
18 mo mat leave….whatttt
The universal healthcare allows women to buy stuff for self care and other things too lol
18 months holy cow. My child free ass wants to go to canada just to get pregnant now.
“18 months”…
