@em203alexc Minimum wage is a blunt tool, but it serves a purpose in supporting workers in situations where they have little or no bargaining power. At roughly current levels, any negative distortionary effect is fairly small, so I would not recommend changing it.

@em203alexc For a government looking to reduce poverty, there are other tools that allow for better targeting with fewer potential distortions - as such, I wouldn’t advocate for raising it dramatically. (I don’t have a strong opinion on whether $14 or $15 is right.)

@Scaramucci thanks mooch! big fan

It doesn’t matter. The government has already weighed in and the results are predictable.

Hey Melanie, thanks for your input! from what we see in the GTA this is definitely a huge issue causing a lot of new families to move to the suburbs.

.@EM203TDavidson Great mind map! I like how you used the 3 R's approach to recycling. You could talk about how Starbucks is no longer using plastic straws in their stores! #EM203Wproblems
