No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Minimum wage is meant to provide a base level income for people to contribute to and engage with the economy. If it is so low that minimum wage workers are unable to do so, this negatively impacts the economy. There will be less demand for goods and services, so prices will raise. If anything, it will be a never-ending cycle of prices of goods raising if minimum wage is not elevated. Raising minimum wage allows people to participate more effectively in the economy, which is an overall advantage to our national economy.

if the prime minister stopped building houses for himself we would be able to house more canadians if minimum wage went up for them to afford it which makes the governemnt get more money etc

the prices have already soared due to inflation , the minimum wage hasnt, this has created a gap between the income of a minimum wage earner and the cost of living.

Raising the minimum wage doesn't cause a never-ending price increase cycle because the costs are typically absorbed through increased productivity, reduced employee turnover, and slight adjustments in profit margins. Real-world examples, like Seattle's wage increase, show modest price impacts and broader economic benefits, such as greater spending power and reduced reliance on public assistance. These effects create a net positive for workers and the economy without driving unchecked inflation.

When we were at 13$ an hour things were good. nothing was too expensive and we were able to live. now at 16$ an hour you can barely afford anything because the price of everything has skyrocketed.

increasing minimum wage won’t cause prices to increase because people will be able to afford things. this will bring more money in for the government

Raise minimum wage or lower living costs. People cannot survive with the current state of taxes and wage.

Price's are already increasing constantly regardless, no matter what prices will go up to a point people can't afford stuff. raising the Minimum Wage wont stop the prices anyway.

The statement is irrelevant as increasing minimum wage will allow people to increase their purchasing power and can afford more.

The fact that it has been a trend to continuously increase the minimum wage is proof in of itself that it has not solved anything.

I believe that if the government just stopped increasing tax they would have no need to keep increasing minimum wage.

We need to increase minimum wage and decrease the prices on things so that people can live good and happy lives.

I think that the statement "No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never-ending cycle if we increase minimum wages" is true for a fact, but it's also untrue since if the government does not raise the minimum wage, people, especially the lower class, won't be able to afford the cost of living.

Either way, whether minimum wage goes up or not, inflation will follow and there will be no legitimate benefit

bring Canada down to 0% tax which will have more people coming to our country with money and will still be good for the market. It can also help the country become a growing country again. keep minimum wage

The economy at the moment is in really bad state. If that could be fixed, people won't find it quite necessary to have prices increased. The main reason why people want the minimum wage to increase is because it's getting hard to afford and live in such an expensive economy. If the economy could be controlled, the demand to increase minimum wage will decrease

I believe that is a risk that we should take, if companies were smart they would realize that if they make products cheaper and the wages up more people will have more money to spend on the foods or whatever the store is selling.
