Your worldview is so skewed you won't even take the word from a guy who obviously has first hand knowledge of healthcare wages in Alberta.
Just for you bud:

Last collective agreement, ended in 2013. Starting wage 35/hr.
New collective agreement signed:

35 + 2% + $3000 bonus=77,000 for a first year RN. Plus shift differential and he/she will easily earn more than 80 000
And this is all assuming the base salary will remain 35/hr which is unlikely after 2 years without a contract. 2%/year for inflation is pretty standard
