Wow. I was going to ask how much it was. We have 2 minimum wages in my province. $10.00 for experienced workers and $9.50 for inexperienced. I wonder how we manage to do it? Hmmm???
Actually... it is higher than that now...I want to say like 7.25 per hour or something

From the reading....
Data from the Department of Labor show that most minimum wage-earners are young, part-time workers and that relatively few live below the Poverty line.
Relatively few Americans earn the federal minimum wage.[1] In 2005, 1.9 million Americans reported earning $5.15 or less per hour.[2] This amounted to 2.5 percent of all workers earning hourly wages and 1.5 percent of all workers in the United States. But these numbers include workers who also earn tip income
Minimum wage workers under 25 are typically not their family's sole breadwinner. Rather, they live in middle-class households that do not rely on their earnings. For the most part, they have not finished their schooling and are working part-time jobs. These workers represent the largest group that would directly benefit from a higher minimum wage.
Here are a few important characteristics of the teenagers and young adults who earn the minimum wage or less:
Fully 67 percent work part-time jobs.
Their average family income is $64,000 per year.
Only 17 percent live at or below the Poverty line, while 65 percent enjoy family incomes over twice the Poverty line.[5]
They have less education than the population as a whole. Fully 36 percent have not completed high school, and 21 percent have only a high school degree. Another 37 percent have taken college courses but do not yet have a bachelor's degree; many of these are college students working part-time while in school.
Fully 65 percent are women.
Only 5 percent are married.
Do you want me to keep going... People that earnthe minimum wage are not the breadwinners.... their income is rarely relied upon...
Of course you are right...

Canada actually offers healthcare to all citizens and college to all also, right? From my understanding they also offer mothers 3 week maternity leave too, right? Sounds like a country who cares about their citizens...
WOW! Two different minimum wages? That's interesting...in Ohio it's $7.25, impressive, huh? Richest country in the world...

That's funny. No we don't get free college admission. But we do get 12 months leave, which can be taken by either the wife or husband, or shared if they want.

To be honest, I just assumed all developed countries had adequate maternity leave for their citizens. You don't want to know how much we pay for everyday things.

If you have to pay somebody to be your friend....they aren't your friend.
We have been doing this for 100 years...this includes all the war time efforts and those efforts of rebuilding war torn regions thorough out the world....now it will be the middle east....
