This video is auto-posting on Friday April 12. We don't know if tariffs are on/off today.
But we know Canada's businesses are struggling. Rent & insurance = skyrocketing. We need fundamental changes, not tax cuts.

Let's talk about efficiency in poverty reduction policy.
Canadian research has discovered that raising the minimum (real) wage for 5% of workers (those at the actual legislated minimum wage) actually raises incomes for 15% of workers.

The battle of local vs. chain is playing out across North America.
In Toronto, we've seen small businesses displaced by skyrocketing rents - only to be replaced by quick-service food chains & luxury retailers.
@dieworkwear.bsky.social notes (correctly!) that this leads to homogenized culture.

Spillover Effects: Making Minimum Wage Increases a Popular Policy Choice | Perspectives Journal
