In Canada, we have paid
parental leave for close to a year (50 weeks) where 55% of one's average insured earnings (max $43 200=$457/week). More fathers are taking part of this parental leave than in the past.
FYI:
The United States is the only Western country that does not mandate paid parental leave, although the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 mandates unpaid parental leave for the majority of American workers. (wiki)
P.S. Hope Dory isn't too painful! Cute name for a bruise!
