About this episode
Ontarios minimum wage rises to $17.95/hour, effective October 1st, keeping pace with inflation. This boost translates to an extra $728 annually for full-time workers. While it places Ontario near the top for minimum wages in Canada, advocates like the Ontario Living Wage Network argue its still not enough, with a true living wage in the Greater Toronto Area at $27.20. The increase helps, but the gap to a full living wage fuels ongoing discussions about workers needs. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
