| There's the rub. The Liberals are pro-immigration. The Conservatives are too. And the NDP. Yet the group against who are so small no one will represent them screams as if they're the voice of Mr. Average. Where I live you can drive for hours without seeing a settlement, when you do they're smaller ... |

| If the job is to reduce poverty, this isn't going to help. It's all relative. When wages go up, prices go up and our monthly expenditures go up. More money is coming in, but we're also having to spend more monthly. We need people in these jobs. No question about that. These jobs should be looked at... |

The only people who want to move to Toronto are those who have never been there.
Of all the places I have lived in Canada that has to be the worst. Perhaps they can move the AI centre to at least Guelph or the Maritimes or west of Thunder Bay. |

| That means we're back to getting rid of real estate agencies as the most logical first step to stabilizing prices. While I agree with most of your logic this step sounds more like a personal peave than a solution. The real estate agents exist through supply and demand economics. There is a demand f... |

| So gas went up in BC about 8c/L. There was no increase in the carbon tax. How we suck up to the American train of thought. $2 or $3 a tank to taxes, which benefit everyone is BAAAAAAAADDDDDD. Evil communist butt-rape. $5-$7 a tank for speculators and oil companies to pocket is GOOD. Or at least not... |

| OK just to be contrary to the other responses, let's look at the direction we are headed demographically. We have an aging population due to the baby boom bubble. As the boomers go through retirement their demands on the health cre system will increase. We used to have the courtesy to die at an aver... |

Ray,
That is because society is moving to the lowest fucking denominator. We should let Darwin work at taking people out of the gene pool. |

Salaries almost always increase and measurements of Marginal Revenue Product are often mini... |

| If you have 10 people working for you and you pay them all minimum wage, you're either a big box store or an asshole who doesnt deserve loyal staff. I did not say all 10 had to be at minimum wage. Employers have to maintain differentials so even in a fast food restaraunt you have team leads, shift ... |

| It does make sense, for the families that rely on minimum wage employment. Once the minimum wage is fully brought up to speed, they should just peg any future increasrs to the rate of inflation and just take the politics out of it. What happens is a business has 10 employees at minimum wage. The mi... |

Not way ahead by any means, though I really wish I could do more with my investments than I have, but certainly not in a situation where coming up with $2K (as mentioned in the article) would be a huge problem.

In the 80's when they were 20 to 40 year olds the government woke up and realized it could no longer fund the... |
