The article regarding the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario and an increase in minimum wage just shows how out of touch these Social Justice Warriors really are. With the minimum wage at $14 an hour, I have already seen staff reductions in restaurants and fast food outlets. At Costco the other night, I left two items by a cash because they kept closing down cashes and I couldn't stand any longer. I have also seen prices rise to the point where our weekly night out has become a monthly night out.
Maybe Liberal finance critic Mitzie Hunter should learn a little about the demand curve before mouthing off about how well off people will be. With a $15 an hour minimum wage, there will be far fewer workers working, but I guess that is beyond the mental capacity of Liberals.
By the way, now that I know that my server is making close to a living wage, I have determined that tips don't have to be as large as they used to be. Now it is 15 per cent before taxes. I used to tip 20 per cent after taxes. With that and our reduced nights out, do the Liberals really think that those people are making more money?
Also, the thing that is always forgotten is that most minimum wage earners are not breadwinners. Fifteen hours a week will earn a student $210. Is that not enough for a student?
Only four members of the Liberal party have left. All of them women. Mr. Trudeau welcomes women as long as they shut up and do what he tells them. If they don't, they leave or get kicked out.
Everybody is so concerned about Jody Wilson-Raybould recording the clerk of the Privy Council. That's like a person coming up to a police officer and saying, "I have cellphone video of everything. I can show you who was doing the shooting." Then the officer says, "Sir, you are under arrest, you didn't get the person's permission to record." Ignore the crime and concentrate on the method the crime was uncovered by. That's what the Liberals are trying to do here.
You listen to the PM and the Liberal MP's, it is all about loyalty to the PM and sticking together as Liberals. I guess Canada and Canadians come in a distant third. They were elected to serve Canada and Canadians, not to further the Liberal party at the expense of Canada.
This country must stop the red menace. No, I do not mean Russia or China, I am referring to the federal Liberals ruled by King Selfie. Never in the history of this great nation has the rule of law been so trampled as was the case involving our former totally steadfast AG Jody Wilson-Raybould and the government's constant lobbying for the Quebec company SNC-Lavalin, which, to put it mildly, has a checkered past. Now both Wilson-Raybould and another very capable MP Jane Philpott have been kicked from the gates of Grit land.
This affair is so serious that if this group of political miscreants are allowed to again win power next fall, this wonderful confederation will change forever as we know it, commencing with a deferred prosecution agreement for the company that started it all.
