The argument that raising the minimum wage will "cost jobs" is a classic argument that reinforces the ongoing campaign of wage suppression by so-called "market driven capitalism". It's funny how investor returns are prioritized over compensating workers reasonably. End wage suppression.

This is one of the dumber aspects of the separatist mantra. Their “draft constitution” is full of enough holes to sink it in a bathtub.
Modry says an Alberta constitution will be "loosely based off the US Constitution" with "a little bit of the Swiss model" with more referenda. A new oversight branch would ensure that "the executive, Legislative Assembly, the Senate, and judiciary absolutely do not veer from the Constitution."
