Canada can try to encourage men to take paternity leave but that's not to say they will. Trying to equal out personal choice is only going to be accomplished by force, which is a terrible idea. Women, in general, are far more likely to take paternity leave because family is, again in general, more important to women. And like you said women are far less likely to ask for raises or negotiate wages who h also plays into personal choice and pay difference. Men are also more likely to work longer hours, and more hours.
