A pig in a poke. People voted to replace the liberals, not to impoverish minimum wage workers.

You impugn the motives of Ontario voters as uncaring to workers. Are the voters of Ontario uncaring of workers wages?

I think businesses have always appreciated having a vast pool of desperate workers to draw on. Many business owners are enlightened enough to pay more than the minimum wage.

Their isn’t a massive pool of desperation workers. We’re in the reverse situation. By 2030 their will be more ppl over 65 than under 15 in Canada. This is why standards everywhere are dropping and migration promoted. Less workers = More pay, regardless.
