Wow...

"In October, Alberta’s minimum wage jumped to $13.60 an hour, the second step in the province’s plan to bring it to $15 an hour by next October. Businesses surveyed expect to pay 22 per cent more next year for staffing than they did in 2016.

Due to those rising costs, 55 per cent of businesses surveyed reported having to lay off minimum wage staff due to the increases, with 36 per cent suggesting they’ll likely have to resort to layoffs when it reaches the $15 mark."

Sounds like service in Calgary is going to be awesome......
