Canada does not have a national minimum wage.

I know that because I live here.

edit to add -- ... and my income last year was less than $15k.

You have a minimum wage per province, correct?

College should be affordable and available. It used to be college kids word during the summer to pay their expenses during the college year. I don't think that is feasible nowadays.

I also think we need more trade schools. Not everyone needs a degree. We need plumbers, electricians, etc as well.
