Minimum Wage Hike? Sa Tutuo Lang, Make it Real!

When nothing means a lot. I wish we have our own house and lot but we are only renting a house in Canada just like millions of Canadians. There are house owners who are living in their own homes built probably after World War II and you can see how old the buildings are and so many home owners are residing on houses inherited from their parents. Not too many owned homes here in Canada specifically in brand new houses. Well, there are so many executive rows in executive villages around the island but the price ranged from half millions of dollars to over millions of dollars. Over million dollars house? Those mansions built like a bed and breakfast large homes? They probably owned by doctors, lawyers, accountants and maybe showbiz personalities or celebrities. But who knows maybe they won grand prizes in the keno and lottery. For the ordinary workers to have a half-million dollar worth house is a matter of what kind of job you have or you probably earn $75/hour wage everyday, multiply hours of work/day then to weeks/months then year? However, what's this I heard that if you are a millionaire your debts are bigger than most of us.

Look, the minimum wage is only $11.35/hour (TOO SMALL!) (That's only a piece of tuna sandwich) without pop for workers such as waitress/waiter (+ tip), pizza delivery guy, line cook, sales clerk at the department stores, second-hand man for construction company, cashier, gardener, tailor, seamstress, lawnmower man, teacher, driver,  housemaid, etc.

Workers who work on construction company doing renovations or carpentry job should be paid at least $20/hour minimum wage. Why? It's one of the hardest job and it's risky. Other workers received at least $30/hour depends on the contract and location.

I think nurses received at least $15/hour  to $20/hour depends on the skills of the workers. Doctors earned $70/hour depends on their skills and specialization.

I heard lawyers are paid right from the start you asked questions. Would you believe that? It's like being inside the taxi and the meter is running.

I wonder how much the news reporters are earning per hour? How about the scientists? Are they paid based on what their findings and breakthroughs? Please stop hoarding. Tell us if UFO is real or not... no more hiding.

The only people we knew who are over paid and earning way too much above everyone else are the government officials. $100,000 - $150,000 per annum salary for every government official is like winning the sweepstakes. How fortunate of these people that we can only pray that they are doing the right thing and always care about the people they represent. We can only hope so. So if the minimum wage hike has fully resolved and the next $15/hour hike next to be approved then that's GREAT!
