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.

 @9FBCT87from Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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

 @9FSVSN6Conservativefrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9FD7TQ7from Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9F7T72Zfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9GHHJFFfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

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

 @B2VWNFCfrom Ontario  agreed…2mos2MO

Work places with minimum wage usually have smaller or simpler tasked jobs that do not require high amounts of qualification or responsibility.

 @B224LNWfrom Ontario  agreed…4mos4MO

The government is responsible for ensuring a livable state for everyone, when companies are unwilling to do so.

 @9JXF34KNew Democraticfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

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.

 @9H4PDVCfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

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

 @9FRKYNNfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

 @9FLQH5Jfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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

 @9FKT3SDfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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

 @9FKLW67from Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9FJJJVGfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

Realistically speaking increasing minimum wage will improve quality of life with consumption of good and better services to offer.

 @9FBLT6Qfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9FH38CYPeople’sfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No, this will cause businesses to be unable to function/employ as many people as they could. Pay should be based on Merritt.

 @9FCRZPJfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

Minimum wage is often only offered to places that benefit society such as grocery stores, and restaurants.

 @9FDDNSTPeople’sfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

Personally, I am a student who must save money from a minimum wage job to prepare for education debt

 @9FVTPMXConservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

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.

 @9FVTJ5Vfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

It can be a burden on governments could cause a small inflation within the economy and could put too many people in the workforce
