Although $40.60 isn't that much in the grand scheme of things when you factor in that it works out to around $84k per year, which doesn't seem out of line for a province with a large skilled workforce (trades and white collar). We also have a larger proportion of northern jobs than other provinces, which commands a wage premium (e.g. northern living allowance)
I'm with y'all. If anything, this shows that Canadians are being underpaid. In like for like skilled labour jobs, Americans make more $$$

I don't have the stats, but I would imagine that underpayment looks even worse through the lense of forex and purchasing power.
