LATEST NEWS that Minimum WAGE has increased again to C$ 18.25/HOUR. Is that for real? So I decided to ask AI Overview about that. At least AI Overview knows everything.
Indeed, the latest minimum wage in Canada is now $18.25/hour.
Delivery workers will be receiving $21.89/hour
Live-in camp leaders will be compensated at $ 145.64/day
Wow! That's wow! It's great to work nowadays.
Long time ago, when I started working in a restaurant, the minimum wage was $7.15/hour I think that was Year 1999. Then it went up to $7.25/hour and then in the Year 2004 it was $8.00/hour only. Would you believe but let me tell you something almost everything was affordable. The rental homes were in abundance and you can rent a brand new 2 bedroom house with 1 1/2 bathrooms with 5 appliances all brand new for only $750/month. For 3 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms + workshop/storage + garage for only $1, 500/month with big yard.
NOW? There is no such thing. Those rental home mentioned above had doubled its price in the year 2025-2026.
It's great to work for $18.25/hour but that's not enough to cover expenses per month because the HIGH COST OF LIVING HAS TRIPLED its worth.
Besides, employers would probably hire workers for 4 hours shift and another worker for 4 hours shift. Because hiring workers for the whole 8 hours guarantee its workers for its regular normal benefits allocated for them. I don't know how other means for companies to survive. Other business would rather be employing their own members of the family to economize and maintain their business or shutdown unless of course if your business thrives during the high end season.
