Okay, I find this very depressing and I make a wee bit more than minimum wage. I really should have stayed in school and got me an edumacation or at least hung out with a better connected crowd!
The new year is only two days old, but that's all the time it took for the country’s highest-paid CEOs to earn the annual salary of the average Canadian.
Minimum-wage workers would have barely rolled out of bed on New Year’s Day by the time the country’s top earners pocketed $15,931 — an amount that will likely take low-paid workers all of 2007 to make.
I'm just guessing here, but now think about what some of the top paid pro athletes, movie stars and musicians make. Don't blink as in that time they no doubt made more than you will in a life time! I don't agree that this is any reason to justify raising the minimum wage in Ontario to $10.00 an hour though. I'm sure the average mom and pop shop out there would go broke in a hurry and they certainly are not in a category anywhere near the folks in this article. okay now go get all depressed like me by reading the whole story, or not...
