So what is Ontario doing wrong?

Trading big-pay industry for minimum wage

Trading big-pay industry for minimum wage

How do overpaid workers make us competitive?

Trading big-pay industry for minimum wage

And failing to invest beyond North Bay.

True.


You still have to have them though.

They pay more taxes

They cost business more money.

Union tradesmen from ON and QC are here pulling in $40 an hour and double for OT and it's not killing our economy.

$10K a month.
