No, Ontario’s Minimum Wage Hike Didn’t Kill Jobs. Here’s The Proof.
A lot of people still don’t get it, a lot of Canadians are blind to the facts regarding minimum wages. Why I’m against minimum wages is that it makes things unfair when starting a business. Family run businesses have a huge advantage over people who don’t have the privilege of having a family. This right here is discrimination, furthermore, minimum wages has a loophole, it’s called commission based jobs. The reality about minimum wages is that it creates this illusion of how schools should teach children.
Most teachers especially public school teachers work for a paycheck, most school teachers don’t care how the money for their paycheck is created as long as they get their paycheck. So in reality if you ask a school teacher how they get their paycheck they’ll tell you the school board, when you ask the school board where did they get their money from they’ll tell you from the government and if you ask the government how did they get their paycheck they’ll tell you from the taxpayers.

Yes, Ontario’s minimum wage hike did kill jobs. Here’s the proof.
If you clicked the link if you’re wondering why unemployment continues to rise it’s because the barrier to entry has risen. In years past when minimum wages were a lot lower people were actually making a lot more money, especially people with experience and the reason for this was simple, they’d barter their wages. Good work is hard to find and most employers took people’s resumes very seriously in the past.
Employers stopped taking applicants resumes seriously when minimum wages rose, because now employers knew they’d have to pay a premium price whether the employee worked hard or not. This is why now more than ever employers in Ontario simply look at their bottom lines. What you have a lot of in Ontario now are businesses that refuse to work with small businesses or start-ups, a lot of big businesses in Canada only work with big corporations. You might say yea so what? But what this equates to in many respects are a lot of small businesses in Canada never being created.
It’s only natural that school teachers would assume that the government and big companies have an unlimited storage of money to give to them. If you work and regardless of how well you do, you get a paycheck, that’s a lot different from a business owner who works and if he doesn’t do everything right his business will go bankrupt. No union to protect the business owner, if the business is small, there won’t be any bailout from the government etc. This is the real world but the government creates things like minimum wages to give people the illusion of money being there that really isn’t there.
When people that don’t know anything about business here about minimum wages, it’s only natural that they’d assume that the reason the government created a minimum wage is that business owners have a lot of money that they don’t want to share with everybody. I mean let’s be honest if it’s not your business why should you care about what the business owner is going through. Your concern is in your best interest. This is how Liberals and Marxists destroy societies, the moment they’re able to take your freedom of speech and your freedom of thought away those same politicians become the answers to all your problems.
In the article the writer admits the following:
The province added some 60,000 jobs in July (though many of those were in the public sector) and its unemployment rate fell to 5.4 percent, according to Statistics Canada data — the lowest rate in 18 years.
Did you miss that? The part that said “The province added some 60,000 jobs in July (though many of those were in the public sector)” if you don’t know anything about how public sector jobs are created you’d assume that the public sector jobs created were somehow sustainable or that they paid minimum wages in the first place. when the government is spending taxpayer dollars you better believe those jobs aren’t going to be minimum wage jobs, because the government in power is going to want its workers to vote for them.
This is the real world and this is why students are having a harder time finding a job these days. As propaganda spreads more and more people won’t have any idea of the disasters being created by government regulations. Well, I’ve done my best to warn people, using words I hope people find easy to understand. Hopefully, in the future, the world will have more caring entrepreneurs and less big government people.
interesting times ahead
