Actually Infuriating

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?
