Alberta's minimum wage has been frozen at $15 for almost a decade, and is the lowest in Canada.
Are decent wages good or bad for the economy? As Alberta’s minimum wage hits rock bottom, we look back at a better time when it briefly ranked highest in Canada and examine how that affected the province’s job market.

More from @CBCEdmonton ‘s piece on the University of Alberta slashing 100% of funding to their affiliated child care centres.
“It’s a real betrayal to have that support taken out from under you. It makes it hard to feel like you’re welcome at the University”
Shameful.
