As a thank you to the working class essential workers who kept us fed and our economy running, Government has announced a 15¢ increase to the minimum wage. Aside from 2013 where there was no increase, this is PEI's smallest increase to the minimum wage in 21st century! #peipoli https://twitter.com/CBCPEI/status/1326270352100651009
There's lots of head-scratching stuff in here... like arguing against any meaningful increase because young people represent most min. wage earners and haven't been in their job for 1yr+. (According to Govt, young people are most likely to be low-income!) #peipoli
