Dear Editor
Re: Our View – Let’s stop this race to the bottom, Our View Burnaby NOW, April 6.
Woohoo! Hooray! And thank you! It is good to see an opinion from a company recognizing how disgraceful the minimum wage in B.C. makes us look to the rest of Canada.
It is shameful that the B.C. Liberal government believes the 10 cent per hour proposed increase for September of this year is acceptable or maybe not, because they are looking at a whopping 30 cent per hour increase.
Neither increase is acceptable. Working people in this province need a “living wage.”
Working people in this province deserve a “living wage.” It is time the B.C. Liberal government, who talks about our economy as the best in the country, puts their money where their mouth is and increases the minimum wage to $15 per hour. This increase will further stimulate the economy, as mentioned in your opinion, and make this province truly a place where working people cannot just survive but maybe thrive?
What a thought! I can dream!
Andrea MacBride, Burnaby
