Workaholics exist in any culture, but the larger society influence the values of a country – which again influence practical matters like holidays.
Yes, in France the month of August is THE vacation month. It may be linked to strong family values. What do you think are the values in Canada that drive the fact that you have only 2 weeks of vacation?

I don’t understand how employees in Canada and the US have no problem with this very short vacation – are people in North America workaholic? That might be the only reasons…

Usually in Europe most employees take the whole month of August as vacation, which, for us here in Canada is really weird.
