Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?

No, leave it up to the Provinces

No, because almost no one is living off of minimum wage and it pushes companies to technology replacements faster.

There should be minimum wages for students and another for working adults who are expected to support their families. The real problem is some industries severely abuse wages and are infamous for working exploitation and skirting labor laws. More enforcement in labor laws are definitely needed first and new policies on who can charge what minimum wage should be charged. Working benefits is another big sticking point. The problem in current society is that workers have lost most of their rights relative to the employer, unions are highly taboo and more industry oligopolies are allowed to proliferate. Seriously, Sweden and Germany have nailed most of these issues.

Yes and no, it should be raised currently due to the last 20 years of neglecting increasing the wage, however after it’s at a liveable wage adjust to inflation, because it also causes lots of other jobs less as valued and drives inflation up

it is high enough, and if you cannot support your family with a job at mcdonalds, find a better job. plenty of jobs in the oilfeild.

Yes and no, there should be adjustments according to inflation, but prices have already increased in a never ending cycle for so long... and we should bare in mind that lower-wage jobs are mostly for experience. There has been inconsistencies with payments from companies and level of experience...so there needs to be wage regulations instead of an exact minimum wage on all factors.

No, however minimum wage should be based on age and your situation. If you are living at home, you should not be making the same as someone who is on their own.
