As much as he cares about the day to day operations in the PMO. http://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/bonokoski-trudeaus-unforgivable-audience-with-joshua-boyle From Wiki': That part about meeting with the Khadr family who Omar is not allowed to have contact with because of their allegiances sure makes Boyle sound more and more like he went to Afghanistan as a Taliban supporter and the prisoner story is just that a story. Really what prisoner comes out looking that healthy and has two kids while being held prisoner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the USA raise the minimum wage from 0.25/hr to $7.25/hr over 71 years? So an increase of $0.10/year roughly? Or are you trying to say they raised the wage by $7.25/hr in one jump?

Just shows how Fail will go through a couple of dozen articles that contradict his agenda and finally when he finds ONE that is biased but supports his agenda he will quote it but reluctantly if ever post the link or cite the source.

02sled Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Did you know Fail is more knowledgeable than Pierre Fortin, one of Canada’s leading scholars on the subject and professor emeritus of economics at the University of Quebec at Montreal. Their opinions seem to conflict but of course we all know Fail is right and all the experts are wrong. “I am a proponent of having minimum wages that are as high as possible,” said Pierre Fortin, one of Canada’s leading scholars on the subject and professor emeritus of economics at the University of Quebec at Montreal. Too high a minimum wage will hurt low-income workers rather than help them as employers drastically cut hours and jobs and slow the rate at which they create new positions. The trick is to assess how high to set the bar so that the costs don’t outweigh the benefits, Fortin said Economists don’t have a clear answer on how high is too high for the minimum wage, but so far the evidence suggests that threshold might be somewhere between 45 per cent and 50 per cent of the local average wage, Fortin said. When Quebec adopted a minimum wage that was around 55 per cent to 60 per cent of the provincial average wage in the 1970s, the province saw “an explosion of unemployment” among young people and women, Fortin said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, around 60 per cent of those working for the minimum wage in the province are teens and adults under the age of 25, FAO said in a recent assessment of planned pay hikes. With a $15 hourly pay floor, though, those aged 25 and older would make up the majority of the minimum-wage workforce, implying that younger workers might face a dearth of job opportunities. The Minister of Labour Kevin Flynn was asked about the FAO's report this morning on TV. He said they had gotten info from several sources in the lead up. blah blah blah...

Sksman Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So if raising minimumwage is so good for all why not put it to $20/hour? Or $25/hour? The businesses will go under but be replaced by stronger businesses who can all afford to pay the $25/hour. Failmaker and all his government buddies could open up businesses to show the rest of the previous stupid small business owners how to do it properly!

1trailmaker Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 In Alberta, the government's actions have generated considerable public debate and some bold predictions. In 2015, the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB) claimed that the minimum-wage increase would cost the province "between 53,500 and 195,000 jobs." In other words, the CFIB believed that more than half of the almost 300,000 Alberta workers making less than $15 an hour could lose their jobs. In September, 2017, the C.D. Howe Institute released a study that claims, "Alberta's move to increase its minimum wage to $15 an hour by [October] 2018 could lead to the loss of roughly 25,000 jobs." These types of predictions simply aren't credible. The problem for critics of minimum-wage increases is that history doesn't back up their sky-is-falling claims. In the year preceding November, 2017 (the latest available data), Alberta's service sector added 12,400 jobs as part of our province's economic recovery. In 2016, while Alberta's economy was still in recession, our service sector added 26,500 jobs. These jobs were created despite Alberta's minimum wage increasing 33 per cent in 2015-17.
