Economy 53,076 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 @Luc @Gaga Monster @Woolfsmck This seems a little to high to me. I would of raised it to $12 or $13 Even tho the Canadian Dollar has fallen to $0.75 US the cost of things and earnings has not yet adjusted for this fall as that takes time Its too soon for such a hike, especially if Canadian Dollar recovers to its long term average of $0.86 😬 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBEY 57,109 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 And then will everything rise so the 15$/hour won't really matter after all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,885 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Mixed feelings about this, minimum wage increases can result in a lot of job losses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvnrp 48,353 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 15 $ looks a little high to me tbh But I heard that prices in Canada are generally going through the roof so it fits? idk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Ambition 47,805 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Shocked it's going up this much, I would expect 13$/h. But anything for Wynne to get re-elected so in the end it's not surprising. ▌│█║▌║▌║ before I am Canadian, I am Chromatican ║▌║▌║█│▌ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bad impact in economy and jobs if its too high which I think it is in this case. If it was me I wouldnt have raised it past $13/h Anyway to answer @OBEY it will raise the cost if things but not proportionally Not everyone will get a raise because of this because most people dont make minimum wage. Also labor is not the only cost of business This almost $4/H increase is still worth it for people making minimum wage because the cost of things wont rise enough to wipe out their gains But it will wipe out some purchasing power for everyone else I make $18/h. I wont get a raise cuz of this but Ill pay more for stuff 😑 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
