Minimum wage is often only offered to places that benefit society such as grocery stores, and restaurants. There for people will be getting better service and this will enevitably benefit society.

Mimimm wage workers just as long as other people making just as much money as them, and that does not mean that should be paid less then what they are being paid. On the other hand making the kind of money mimium wage workers make how are they suppose to buy a house, a car or raise a family in the ecomny we live in
@9FSVSN6Conservative2yrs2Y
Many young people exiting school have to live in their parents basements or try to find a cheap crappy apartment and work multiples jobs in order to live, this is why we need wages increased.
@9FD7TQ72yrs2Y
The minimum wage in Canada is many dollars away from a livable wage. People working in minimum wage jobs are most likely poor students who needs the money to buy food and meet rent.
@9F7T72Z2yrs2Y
People coming from families who’s emigrated to another place or who is an immigrant is not typically as financially capable to pay for better schooling. Minimum wages should be increased.
@9GHHJFF1yr1Y
Many people cannot afford to get a degree, get a well-paying job, or just immigrated to Canada therefore they first generally start with a minimum-wage job, and because today's economy and inflation are very bad, people need a higher minimum wage to simply just put food on their table
@B2VWNFC2mos2MO
Work places with minimum wage usually have smaller or simpler tasked jobs that do not require high amounts of qualification or responsibility.
@B224LNW4mos4MO
The government is responsible for ensuring a livable state for everyone, when companies are unwilling to do so.
No, I believe that quite a few years ago the wages were perfect. Reason being is that as wages go up, stores and companies get the excuse to make the price of everything jump and become completely unreasonable. If the minimum wage increases uch more, most people wont be able to afford basic nesessities.
@9H4PDVC1yr1Y
I said no. As a student who has worked for 4 years, the wage has gone significantly up since I started working and makes things too expensive

@9FLQH5J2yrs2Y
Some people are still attending school and then go to work. It’s tiring and can be hard work, so for all our time spent working we deserve more money
@9FKT3SD2yrs2Y
On top of the fact of the wage not being enough for some people to live there's also the fact that people can barely afford anything on minimum, raising it just a bit could allow more people to live
@9FKLW672yrs2Y
As inflation grows in the country, it will become harder and harder to move out of your parents house and be able to afford an apartment or place of your own.
@9FJJJVG2yrs2Y
Realistically speaking increasing minimum wage will improve quality of life with consumption of good and better services to offer.
@9FBLT6Q2yrs2Y
Minimum wage has been in place for a very long time, so why remove it? It's a great way to stabilize the amount of money we make and is more efficient than each company having it's own.
No, this will cause businesses to be unable to function/employ as many people as they could. Pay should be based on Merritt.

Personally, I am a student who must save money from a minimum wage job to prepare for education debt
@9FVTPMXConservative2yrs2Y
I think that we dont need to increase minimum wage as those jobs are mostly for experience and getting a sense of what working is like.
@9FVTJ5V2yrs2Y
It can be a burden on governments could cause a small inflation within the economy and could put too many people in the workforce
