How much is the minimum wage? In Ontario, it's around $10.00 an hour. And if it is your only income, you probably won't make enough to pay income tax; so, it's as near as damnit tax free. From what I gather from some of the posts on the price of basic stuff, particularly food, a sawbuck goes a bit further over here than it does there. But in terms of the topic, I would agree that local govt. shouldn't be wasting time on stuff like the minimum wage ... but, I don't agree with party politics of any kind at the municipal level.
