Oops: Ontario and the minimum wage

Related image


We've had our own debate about the minimum wage.    My feeling is that it should be a market issue or driven by market not political forces.     In other words, keep politics out of it!

Enter Ontario:   
Employees at nearly a dozen Tim Hortons outlets across Ontario tell CBC News they are facing the loss of paid breaks, benefits, and perks by franchise owners citing Ontario's minimum wage increase.
Hello reality!    You can't increase wages without looking at market forces.
