Luke Cage just shut you down!
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tom-mulcair-says-he-will-propose-15-an-hour-federal-minimum-wage-1.2765515

quote:

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says he will put the idea of a $15 an hour minimum wage to a vote in Parliament when it resumes next week.

"Household debt in Canada is skyrocketing right now, families are having more and more trouble getting by. The good middle class jobs that people used to be able to rely on just aren't there any more," Mulcair said, speaking in Vancouver on Saturday.

The NDP plan would start the minimum wage at $12-an-hour, which would gradually rise to $15 by 2019. This would only apply to federally-regulated industries — which includes modes of transport such as railways and ferries, phone services, broadcasting, banks and mining.

wouldnt you come live in canada if you could make a whole 5 extra bucks per hour than you currently do in your deadend job at mcdonalds?? I know I would, that sounds like the hottest poo poo. too bad old people wont vote for it

I'd rather see them lower tuition and other barriers to education so people can actually get ahead in life instead of just working minimum wage jobs until they die.

A lot of people with good education still end up with those jobs. Living wages are a more pressing concern.

so the self-sufficient wealthy john galts will be further taxed by poors locked into a lifetime of hourly pay, working for some banker-telcom-timber-mining cabal-owned hegemonic corporate dictatorship because they get more funbucks to ride out an inflationary market.

canada needs a conservative ceo during the next term. :tinsley:
