The lefty obsession with a $15 minimum wage has no basis in logic or reason. A more balanced approach would be to gradually increase the minimum wage, so that someone working 35 hours a week, 46 weeks a year could live at the poverty line, which in Ontario for a single person is about $21,857 p.a.  Raise the minimum wage starting this year so that, indexed to inflation the minimum wage in 2022 would be $14.71 an hour or $23,682  p.a.. Announce the increases now and after 2022, legislate automatic increases tied to CPI. This is the type of logical balanced gradual approach that gives folks who need it more money, and businesses certainty and visibility and makes so much sense that it has not a hope in hell of being adopted by any political party.
