Doug Ford pledged to raise the minimum wage to $15 dollars, Kathleen Wynne promised the same in 2017. How do the announcements compare?

Effing brutal
Slimeball Ford.
Only 3 years time difference
The PC party is just the liberals going the speed limit
Wow! This increase should combat the price of fuel doubling.
@Stewart D …sarcasm escapes most liberals. You just proved that.
@Stewart D …perhaps you should read the thread? I know your lack of education prevents you from that, but at least try.
Trudeau. and. his. carbon taxes
@TourCaddie
So you just chimed in to say that I should check out your bank account?
you have to be single…
@TourCaddie
If you’re on minimum wage, and worried about the increase of fuel charges, That should be the least of your worries.
Is that for the heating fuel for your house, or the gasoline for your car?
Lol
I have a master’s and I make $57k but with current inflation it feels like peanuts…I feel like such a loser 🙁
@Where’s Chavo “Living in the city has nothing to do with cost of living”.
That’s what you said and I said rent is included in cost of living, if your rent is high that means your cost of living is higher than if your rent was less!!
@Anti-Ahriman “Living in the city has nothing to do with cost of living” what i mean by this is. the reason for it being expensive is not because you live in a city.
in other words ” my cost of living is expensive because i live in the city” is a economic fallacy and isnt truthful
get it now?
@Where’s Chavo What policies? Name them. It’s supply and demand, and gentrification.
You’re educated and work which is way ahead of most Canadians who spend their days looking for more Government teat to suckle. Most of the idiots celebrating a minimum wage hike don’t understand basic economics.
A masters degree for $57k? A cement truck drivers makes $65K before overtime.
Ford is just trying so hard.
1350 dollars a year lmao. Working for workers! 🤦♂️
cant pay one months rent anywhere your not guaranteed bed bugs raping and murders lol
You are missing a zero.
Dont forget to take tax off of that 😉
That sounds like the average INCOME TAX RETURN we use to get before Harper came in office. Now we all pay more taxes and usury fees on top of that.
Bring back the 300,000 manufacturing jobs lost under Wynne!
$15 an hour, now i can afford a 100 year old 800sq foot house in Toronto for 1.2 million. I’m on top of the world 🌎 🤪
@Joe Struthers Back in the day you could off one income too. My grandfather worked at a factory while my grandma stayed at home. They bought a big house. Now you need 200k to buy the same property with two incomes.
HAAAAA the bank would cry tears if you tried that income vs debt lol I would know.
@KamArk exactly, ppl lots there freedoms and there minds clearly.
@Joe Struthers Nobody who is working in Canada can afford a home now, because the liberal government has made Canada the heaven of money laundry for investors from all around the world with dirty money and all this dirty money has been poured into the housing market.
@Joe Struthers sarcasm dude
An Election must be come up soon!
It is hilarious you think things in Ontario will get better.
June 20th.
You bet he’s going to campaign on this too.
Ya let them live on that. They seem to be taking thousands in their salaries. Plus gaining through their businesses during the pandemic. Conflict of interest I would say.
Just wait until inflation reaches the point where low income rises to the next tax bracket, then the government will be raking in the money. What do we do? Just follow the inflation curve?
They both have something in common. They both destroyed Ontario.
I think that Bob Rae had something to do with this as well.
Yup
Thank you Masters ! I thank my slave Masters!!! I comply to changing this useless system
Can’t think of a better way to support workers? What about paid sick time you clown, especially during a pandemic
Then take it back in taxes. Knock out even more small businesses, next on the restaurants they will, make them put up a wellness sticker in the window, stating they are a government approved healthy place to eat. For $2500 a sticker, just like in California
You know public health rated resaurants and eateries with stickers donting their score long before Covid, right?
all politician’s in Canada should live on minimum wage for a year and then speak from experience on the subject.
I’ll run for municipal government next year, and I’m working close to the new minimum right now 🙂
It wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t taxed on top of tax that’s on the tax!
“I can’t think of a better way for our government to be working for workers.” – The same guy that axed this same minimum wage three years ago
Economically we were in a different place in 2017/2018 though. Times have changed, we can’t compare these two moves without considering the economic conditions of each period
The point is that Ford cancelled Wynne’s increase when he got into office. He was more concerned with buck a beer. Now he’s thinking the next election and all of the sudden he’s claiming that he supports workers.
it’s just a vicious circle… prices go up, minimum wage goes up, employers complain about increased wages and raise prices, minimum wage goes up… and it’s always the least fortunate that suffer.
