it's 31% only for people making minimum wage.
This would only cause problems in a society with a smaller gap between rich and poor. Canada isn't as bad as the US in that respect (hell, the British Empire at it's worst wasn't as bad as the US in that respect) but still those making minimum wage make up too little of the economy (in terms of the amount of money flowing, not number of people) for this to cause problems.
My favorite sushi place is still in Fort Collins. Nemo's is the bomb.
Yeah it sounds great, even though I don't wanna be punched
construction is one, for example. The minimum for unskilled workers without experience is $20.59 (with one year's experience, one dollar more)
you also have beautiful, oil-funded social safety nets, free college, free(ish) healthcare, workers protection that goes way beyond our own and a culture that favors the greater good over purely capitalist outcomes.

Dude I went to Sushi Den for New Year's
There's a reason everyone is hype about it. Best meal I've ever had.
oh it's for October 2018?
Then they can shut up. That's plenty of time to rework your business model.
well, that depends on what the cost of living is, and largely on housing availability/costs. $1850 a month means you'd want to spend about $400 to $600 a month on rent, ideally, which is completely plausible with a roommate or two in my city--but maybe not so much in Toronto, where many more people in the province live.
again, it might just be that the increase is too large in too short a period of time.
Unfortunately its bad for small business but its needed cause rent is skyrocketing and cost of living keeps going up with the weakening dollar.
this is the thing, I don't think it's really that necessary in Ottawa (where this guy is) but in Toronto and its environs the argument seems much stronger
and I believe a solid majority of the province's inhabitants are in Toronto and its environs
They play too loudly and my ears are ringing
I am generally not an earbuds-at-the-concert guy, but there are definitely some acts that warrant it.

"you didn't build that" was a rare moment of truth-telling
https://twitch.tv/visiblehowl
it can very well be the absolute truth
That is 11.40 USD and not much higher than Washington's and Massachusett's minimum wage so I don't see the big deal.
Those questsions are fair, but keep in mind businesses will complain about everything that effects their bottom line, no matter how trivial.
I had to listen to several months worth of adds paid for by service stations about how switching to a 12 month WoF system will literally kill children.
And I'm sure Labour's new policy of restricting mortage tax breaks to businesses will also kill children.
It’s not a very important country most of the time

Most though are over 5 year periods to allow for adjustment.
Minor point of contention: or in niche industries.
It's always pathetic how much terrible is gotten in giving people so little more than they already have.
Good businesses can be built on a 10% profit margin, and that could be decimated if the business is labor-heavy by something like this.
Give them time to adjust, slowly adjust their prices to reflect the changing market and let their customers ease into the higher price as well...
Adding 3.40 over 4 years with a guaranteed .82/83c tick every year would be sustainable.

yeah, take landscaping, because that's a good example of an industry where you'll have a lot of minimum wage-based businesses
price of it will go up, since all the landscaping actors need unskilled labour to some degree. But not by an equivalent amount, because willingness to pay for landscaping doesn't change.
So the smaller ones, with the smallest margins, will need to either get less labour intensive - investing into more machinery, etc - or if they cannot, close down or get acquired by a larger actor
which is not a big deal, since we're talking about the smallest firms here which matter little overall. And as for the small business owners, well, there never was any guarantee that their business would stay viable.
for the rest of you it's like, well, landscaping gets a bit pricier, which was obviously considered to be worth it.
Like here, of course we could collectively save money if the construction industry could exploit cheap foreign labour. But we'd rather not.
EDIT: that said, doing it so quickly will mean that a bunch more businesses will close rather than survive, which is pointless, but then again, it's not a big deal
I get what you're saying. The thing is over a longer term it'll self correct as small businesses adapt to having a larger client base with more disposable income
in the short term it means business owners who can only turn a profit by exploiting an unsustainable wage will fold. This sucks for them
There's a large net benefit to society to ensuring that work does more than just meet your minimum cost of living. That money gets back into the economy via spending, and people making minimum wage spend proportionately more of their income within their own communities than people making a middle class income. They don't save as much, they don't invest as much, they don't travel as much.
Wages aren't money that gets set on fire never to be seen again. Wages get spent and go to someone else. A landlord, a grocery store, a utility company. Raising the minimum wage is, alongside food stamps, one of the most effective policies a government can enact in non-recession times to generate economic growth
I mean, they are going to lean hard on the MCU because of licensing.
I wouldn't have your fingers crossed for wolverine or juggernaut.

Nope they sat on $5 for practically 20 years, then were like "oh shit this is not feasible" and put it to $7. Then were like "no wait this is still not really good" and not they're scrambling to put it where it should be.
No the Marvel stuff is 100% expected and accepted by me. its the Capcom side I think is ass.
