      >The wage will jump to $18.15 an hour from $17.75 on April 1, a government news release said Tuesday.

      >Former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s government introduced a federal minimum wage in 2021. It applies to workers in federally regulated industries such as transport, banking and telecommunications.

      >Most employees in Canada are covered by their provincial or territorial rates. Those range from a high of $19.75 in Nunavut to a low of $15 in Alberta.

      Who can live on 18$/hr? This should be increased to minimum 50$/hr with a $500 per month weed allowance. Time for the people to rise up for what matters

      All wages should be tied to these increases.

      As it stands now this is just adding to inflation and making anyone else that makes even slightly above minimum wage have less purchasing power.

      Minimum wage has never been enough and never will be. Minimum wage goes up, all employees expect to go up, employers pay more salaries, so raise prices, and everyone is back to where they started. The trick is to study or work hard and get out of minimum wage. We feel entitled to 2 bedroom apartments and cars and steak. Live with roommates, take the bus, and eat chicken.

      My condolences to all of the minimum wage employees who are due to get a tiny raise who will be told „instead of a raise you just get the new minimum wage and we count it as a raise“ (looking at you, Winners)

      Perfect timing. The Canadian oligarchs can pad their prices further, blaming it solely on oil prices.

      $18.15 an hour still seems low for a living wage. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that’s $37k. That’s still „I need a roommate“ in most cities.

      Better import more „Temporary“ wage slaves to drive that number down.

      As someone who worked in low wage jobs for many years during school and now as a small business owner – fuck these minimum wage increases.

      They’re just inflationary and don’t provide the solutions to the crowd who most vocally wants these raises.

      If they actually want an economy that works, give companies more power to discriminate again and let them chose wages. The job market needs competition – not a bunch of lazy, entitled employees who can’t stay off their phone, complain too much about how hard it is, take every Friday afternoon and Monday morning as “mental health breaks” and don’t pull their weight.

      Everything will continue going up in price because of policies like this that really only aim to appease the masses (comprised mostly of people who don’t understand anyrhing about the real world economy).

      Can we make it more business friendly as well as having high minimum wage? Thanks

      Based on the data I’ve found average weekly earnings have gone up by 105% from 2001-2025, which is roughly 3% compounded annually. Using the 2001 minimum wage of $8.75 would put it at ~$17.75 today. More or less in line with the rest of the economy.

      Still peanuts compared to what inflation and corporate greed has done since covid.
