There's some massive cognitive dissonance from the groups that decry the "everybody gets a trophy" mentality, but think that "everyone deserves to have their business propped up on the backs of the poor" is A-OK.
So what happens when those businesses and those jobs disappear (or are automated) because they're simply not viable? A lot of Albertans don't seem to understand how bad a social problem chronically high unemployment is.

And once again, I will point out the clear and incontestable truth that the people hit hardest by mandating a living wage for all jobs are the young and immigrants.

Of course, I don't expect someone like PsYcNeT to care about that, as he isn't really in this fight to help the poor. If it means a lot more young people and immigrants are out of work altogether - whatevs. At least you got a shot in at those privileged people, right? And that's what matters.
