@policyalternatives.caThe minimum wage in Ontario goes up by 35 cents tomorrow, taking it to $17.95 per hour. "Advocacy groups like the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and some Toronto residents say the increase is not enough to meet living wages." #canlab @policyalternatives.ca nowtoronto.com/news/ontario...
