No one wants small business to be squeezed out, but that has been an ongoing threat for small business owners in any province, in any city. Small businesses get squeezed out all the time, so their product/service needs to provide something that the big boys can't, whether it be quality, reputation, customer service, etc.
Minimum wage or not, that battle is fought by restaurant owners - nay, retail owners in general - in a capitalist economy.
