I don't know if there are studies or internet sources, but I was a business owner in Ontario and lived through it. Saw many members of the neighbourhood business association suffer hard from the minimum wage increase. The irony of restaurant owners surrounded by food all day having to rely on the food bank to feed their families while their employees were doing better than them financially. I saw it with my own eyes.
So glad I sold the business just before COVID hit, although many of them actually survived longer because of the COVID subsidies they got.
