You know... they wouldn't have to raise minimum wage so much if they would give them some tax relief in that province. I know it would screw up their "budget" but how great can the budget be if they have to up MW that much. Because ultimately that means more taxes for the government.... the minimum wage people will still be making about the same they are now after all the taxes are said and done.
