What would be in our best interest is to actually weigh the benefits and risks of such a drastic action - and yes, a 50% increase in just over two years is drastic - rather than to just do something for the hell of it because you're ideologically driven (and in the case of the NDO, know they are unlikely to get re-elected anyway).
Instead, all you do is say "raise wages and everyone is better off" while either hand-waving away or outright ignoring the risks and costs that numerous people have tried explaining to you.
