Part of the issue for Canadians is lack of access to healthcare. My province has a waitlist that people are stuck on for 10+ years waiting for a general practitioner. Even people I know that do have a doctor aren’t satisfied with the doctor, but they can’t switch because of the lack of alternatives.
I’m just hoping it’s not another 12 years for the next one.
I’m with you on the houseplants, starting to branch out (lol) into hoyas now.

Golden Time
A lot of people don’t get enough paid sick leave to cover 1-2 days off a month (maybe more depending on medical conditions like endometriosis). I know people that have to take unpaid sick days because of this, and others that take a lot of pain meds to be able to get through the work day. I’m fortunate that I do get more sick days than a lot of people in Canada but I still don’t get enough to cover a day every month plus any additional I need to take for appointments, migraines, illness, etc.
I also can see the stigma these workers receive when they’re so frequently absent from work, and a flexible work arrangement could help reduce that.
People can’t afford to just take unpaid sick leave all the time, and when they’re passed up for job opportunities because they’re “unreliable” then that also doesn’t improve their financial situations.
