Europeans (on average) work much less than North Americans. For example, France has a mandatory 35 hour work week. A friend of mine is a physician in Italy, where he is not allowed to work more than 40 hours per week. Also, Europeans get a lot more vacation and stat holidays.

Hmm thanks for the link. Guess I'm wrong. But - do these extra 60 hours a year in the USA vs Canada really change life expectancy? And how much of it is pulled up by a few professions that pull 12 hour shifts?
... I'd think people would be more stressed with the 2 hour drive to work/home lol.
