Sure sounds like an admission that captialism left to its own devices is unacceptable, even to a conservative government.

Time for the class war to restart as a two sided affair rather than as a one sided sabotage Living wages pegged to productivity, dignity at work and social mobility Mass mobilization, general strikes and direct action ftw Kick them in the capitalism until they beg for mercy

Should be earlier.

Slightly better than nothing.

Why not now?

people need it now not in 2 years

Canada's got it goin' on...and this is under a conservative government.

Moe teases minimum wage hike as Sask. opposition debuts resource surcharge plan | Globalnews.caThe Scott Moe government and the opposition NDP both say proposed changes to the minimum wage would relieve pressures of the increased cost of living on Saskatchewan residents. Governments are largely corrupt and incompetent. Make All Governments Small Again Adding to inflation seems brilliant right now. When they increased the minimum wage in AB I laid off a quarter of my restaraunt staff and increased prices. Brilliant move. If you want to help the minimum wage earners subsidize something like utilities or transportation.
