Hello, I was planning my vacation and I realized that the vacation in Canada is so petite comparing to the rest of the world. What would be the explanation for such a difference? I asked and was told about the statutory holidays in Ca, almost one a month, but I can’t buy that because all countries have that extra! So is it something that people like so? Or just put up with it? Can't this be changed? If so, how? Must it be a law that stipulates a minimum number of vacation days?

For example, I just read an article where it says that in Italy, on average, they have 42 vacation days, in France 37, in England 28, according to a study by the World Tourism Organization.
The article can be found here:

Are you content with this number of days?! Maybe it's something wrong with me then....

Have a great vacation everyone!
Cheers
Gabriela
