The thing with an increase in minimum wage is that it instanly cuts the purchasing power of someone making like $9 an hour hard. It happened in B.C. when the NDP upped to to like $7 back in the mid 90's. Really very few people in Alberta make minimum wage, and even fewer who actually work full time. I make a few bucks more than minimum wage, but I'm not going to get a raise because minimum wage goes up, but everything I want to buy will likely go up in price.
