That's a real bummer.

 

5 weeks by law (some employers even have more), which increases by age once you hit 40+ 50+ etc here in Sweden. 

5 weeks of paid vacation/year?! The standard here in Canada is usually 2-3 weeks.

Yep!

Not sure how in any possible way it's better for the employee to have 2-3 weeks instead of 5. But ok, to each their own I guess. It's possible to negotiate here as well, but again, I dont see in what ways it's better to start at 2-3 weeks rather than 5.

I didn't say it is better to have less vacation time.  I said (rather, I implied) that it is better to not have it set by law.  The employee/employer relationship should be up to those two parties, and nobody else.  

Yeah let's agree  to disagree on that.
