Raising Minimum Wage Disastrous
A person collecting Provincial EIA is allowed to make a certain amount per month from a job. Anything over that amount is deducted from their EIA payment. And for a lot of people, the extra money from a job is not disposable income. Do you think you could find a safe, maintained place to live, buy groceries and pay for any necessities on $1,000 a month?

Raising Minimum Wage Disastrous
That has to be the most offensive thing I have read here ever. Do you have any idea what a person with a disability receives from the government? For a single person, Provincial benefits are under $1,000 per month plus some additional coverage for meds, medical equipment, etc. while Federal CPP Disability is under $800 per month with no additional benefits. Disabled people make up a disproportionate percentage of those living in poverty.

Lots of people said that about AC before Trestman arrived too. The o-line under Popp was horrible but they completely turned it around in Trestman's first year. I'm not going to write the Argos off until I see them play in the regular season.- Bombers Training Camp 2017 - May 28
