枫下沙龙 / 谈天说地 / 有这样的吗？我要听孕妇班讲座，他们让我等了一个多月，又说不让我上。JJMM你们听说过这样的事吗？ -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 {140} (#284237@0)
不让我上课的原因是，我的家庭收入负担得起上课的钱，所以就不让我上他们免费的课。我不向政府索取任何救济就遭到这样的待遇，早知就说没家庭收入了。

也就是说只要我们上班，就欠了那些不上班人的钱。在任何情况下，我们都比他们低一等，受到比他们低一等的待遇。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284334@0)

Not when you get EI on maternity leave. I guess by your logic single male is the most discriminated... -rounder(rounder); 2001-12-3 (#284353@0)

我不明白single male和single female有什么待遇的区别。事实上当公司知道你怀孕了，female的待遇就开始变差了。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284358@0)

Not really. Since it's government who pay for maternity leave. -jeffrey815(Smartiecat); 2001-12-3 (#284369@0)

I paid EI for almost 3 years. That covers my maternity leave. -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284381@0)

Take it easy. Here is why -rounder(rounder); 2001-12-3 {648} (#284423@0)
If you are male and you are never laid off on job, you never get EI benefits. Most working female give birth at least once during their career and are paid by EI during maternity leave. In that sense, working females are subsidized by working males in terms of EI. For a typical family, the husband's share is subsidizing the wife's, so its even. For single working males, they are pure contributors in that regard.

The point is, there is no absolute fairness in this world. We should be grateful for having a job. Believe it or not, there are people who are in greater need than us. Think about something happy and have a good evening.

那她们为什么不提前告诉我，却让我等。到时候如果我错过了该听课的时间，怎么办？小孩现在的成长可是空前的。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284435@0)

For your baby's personality, please think things positively and do what you can . -hotpot(麻辣烫); 2001-12-3 {192} (#284444@0)
If you complaint too much, you may find bad luck is always with you. Be happy and satisfied, you will find this world is more beautiful than you thought. it is good for your baby and yourself.

Can't agree more. Personally I think it's no big deal. -april(霏); 2001-12-3 (#284452@0)

还有一点我不能同意你，从career角度讲，maternit leave对female本身就有影响。我觉得你有点大男子主义。在中国，我原来的同事会有3-4个月有薪假期。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284437@0)

I feel sympathize with you...... Although I'm a guy, but I love kids a lot..... So good luck... -jeffrey815(Smartiecat); 2001-12-3 (#284438@0)
So the company policy doesn't provide ANY compensation to your maternity leave, even after you have served for ~3 years? -april(霏); 2001-12-3 (#284448@0)

没有任何福利。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284529@0)

If you think this is unfair, it is very easy to solve. Just quit your job and be a homeless. Then you will get all the benefits you didn't have before. -hotpot(麻辣烫); 2001-12-3 (#284449@0)

你既有劫富济贫的大仁大义，不如我就辞去工作，请求你的帮助得了。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284472@0)

Calm down. I am not 劫富济贫. I just want you understand what kind of life is chosen by yourself. Whatever you choose, you have to give up something else. -hotpot(麻辣烫); 2001-12-3 {204} (#284487@0)
Homeless people is very lazy and get benefits from government, but when they choose this kind of life, they have to expose themselves under the snow. This world is fair but you can't expect it perfect.

大概你还处在culture shock期吧。这段时间人最爱讲大道理，完全没什么实际解决方案，还老觉得自己最沉着，哈哈。你来的时间太短了。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284496@0)

I believe I have been here longer than you. -april(霏); 2001-12-3 {334} (#284500@0)
同为女性，EI也付了两年多，每年都付满额，没休过也不会再休产假 (该生的在工作之前都生了)，公司对在这方面有很好的福利，如在EI基础上工资补到95%。

看到同事要休产假了，只是衷心地祝福母子平安，没想过自己交的EI就这样给她们“享受”了。

孕妇班更是小菜一碟。不上也罢，上了放心点而已。

放宽心，于人于己于BB有利无弊。

祝你的BB健康开心！

Hands. -hotpot(麻辣烫); 2001-12-3 (#284510@0)
谢谢鼓励，一定生个健康宝宝。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284523@0)

Unfortunately, I have been here for three years. I don't think I am new. I also don't think I am mature enough. But I always look at things with positive eyes. -hotpot(麻辣烫); 2001-12-3 {294} (#284505@0)
Wherever I live, I just try to do my best to make my life to be better instead of complaint too much. So I am always a happy women.
Actually I think you are mature enough to find a way to find a free course, Why don't you make a few calls to find them instead of complainting the unfairness.

三年也算长？出主义没你，到来积极指责别人，我看你心理就是不平衡。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284534@0)

你说这些要能使你消了气，我还真心理平衡耶。（现在下班回家了，能打中文了。）祝你宝宝健康快乐。 -hotpot(麻辣烫); 2001-12-3 (#284588@0)

嘿嘿, 这还差不多, 明年给你看照片. 顺便说一句: 你得学学女性心理.到时候就象我LG似的, 成群的女孩往上扑. -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284671@0)

我晕！我可不想成群MM的扑向我，我声明，俺可不是同性恋。哈哈！ -hotpot(麻辣烫); 2001-12-3 (#284734@0)

不会吧.你住哪里?我上孕妇班的时候没人问收入,你是想上社区的吗?我知道讲中文的要排队., -bigsea(佳佳); 2001-12-3 (#284454@0)

不好意思，我也不知道是不是社区的。我LG就找了个离家近的。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284462@0)

我知道有一个地方还有晚上班,老公也可以去,在北约克 -bigsea(佳佳); 2001-12-3 (#284488@0)

太好了，实在感谢。我就住北约克，能给我个他们的电话吗？ -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284494@0)

在donmill&shepperd,416-3388644,416-3388622 -bigsea(佳佳); 2001-12-3 (#284512@0)

太谢谢了，我现在就打电话。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284526@0)
请问是中文还是英文的？ -bluegirl(bluegirl); 2001-12-26 (#313436@0)

我一月去上,是英文的. -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-26 (#313483@0)

实在不明白你为何生这气 -hailstorm(寒冰雨); 2001-12-3 {134} (#284502@0)
听说收入高的人小孩牛奶金就少甚至没有. 这大概是CANADA的平均主义吧.

你是要工作，因而付得起费用呢, 还是要没工作来有机会享受很多福利呢?

嘿嘿，我一共就生了十分钟的气。不明白为什么他们不早点告诉我，我自怀孕来，都不能好好吃饭，不是怕耽误了宝宝的健康么。谢谢关心。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284538@0)

看来你这是什么上轿来着？？？不如坛子里已为人母的JJMM们给你专开一堂课吧，当然也欢迎确有兴趣的弟兄参加。 -cyt(糖炒栗子); 2001-12-3 (#284651@0)

你算说对了, 这工作生产两不误确实不容易. -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2001-12-3 (#284672@0)

她的意思很明白，你怎么到现在还不明白？她既想有工作有收入，又想享受免费而不想付费，她的方法是有欺骗性的：“早知就说没家庭收入了”（原话），已经说到这份上了，你同她解释也多余，她比你还清楚。 -jacky2001(beyond); 2002-2-16 (#370790@0)
"To kill the rich and save the poor", that's Canadian special feature, but we also get the peaseful life in Canada comparison with U.S. -huayu(huayu); 2002-2-17 {529} (#371686@0)
I disagree with all Canadian benefit policies, but I tend to agree those policies which are used to help single mothers, new immigrants, not are used to help some strong, young, lazy local men who have enough power to get jobs and don't willing to do...Sometimes, I am unbalance when I think we pay so much tax to government and our kids don't get a little bit CCTB(Child Milk Benifit), but it is impossible to let me give up my job to exchange CCTB, so you could't get the two sides of a thing in the world. This is life.
