Interesting.

Do you have some sources you can cite to back up these claims? I'd love to read an accredited source for how an employee being paid more would damage an employer beyond the means of maintaining their business and why it's ethical to maintain a business that only survives off exploiting cheap labor?

A much serendipitous coincidence: one of the economists that won the Economics Nobel Prize

for pioneering research that showed an increase in minimum wage does not lead to less hiring and immigrants do not lower pay for native-born workers, challenging commonly held ideas

is Canadian!
