Do you have any data to backup this claim?
Because the early indication is that inflation in Alberta increased in October despite declining energy prices and a poor economy. Stats haven't been released for November but it's obviously too early to be making claims about the impact of the increase either way.
Anecdotally, we've seen price increases at restaurants across the city and a rash of restaurant closures where minimum wage earners would've been employed. It's really a perfect storm of a poor economy combined with the implementation of idiotic policy.
