But it buys votes from the noncontributors.
I made minimum wage or just above it in 2007 and 2011, I can guarantee that had the Liberals hiked it back then they wouldn’t have won my vote, I work retail now (in management though so we’ll above minimum wage thankfully) and judging by what I’ve heard from people near minimum wage this isn’t going to get the Liberals any more votes. At least not here. I work in Dalton McGuintys old riding but live in another.
