Something to consider when thinking about unions, minimum wage, income disparity and job creation. "In a Canadian economy where consumer spending drives 54 per cent of GDP growth, it just makes sense to put more money in the pockets of those who quickly spend on necessities the additional pay they earn. Corporate Canada, by contrast, has been withholding from the economy its tax breaks, subsidies and burgeoning profits since the onset of the Great Recession. I can’t say it better than the economist Armine Yalnizyn: “Employers don’t create jobs; consumers do.” As long as so many of the employees at my local Tims are forced to hold down two jobs to get by, I’ll know we’re not nearly the caring society we pride ourselves in being." thestar/business/economy/2013/08/06/minimum_wage_needs_to_be_reengineered_olive.html
