Thought regarding further RP reduction due to Canadian economy

AbstracT Theory··1 votes·854 views

I want to start off saying that the theory makes sense, that we should pay more for less since our dollar is much weaker. But here is why it is insanely stupid and vastly unfair.

Canada is at a very high unemployment rate due to the drop in oil prices leading to ~300 000 people struggling to find work or about to lose their job. Not to mention, that out wages are not increasing aside from a very slight minimum wage increase as of recent, but we are still forced to pay for a higher cost of living while making significantly less than we once were (many people work 60% of the time making 50% pay) Canada is struggling enough, cmon riot, your a multi billion dollar company. Make an exception.

Technically the problem originated in the middle east when the some country (cant remember which one) put their oil prices insanely low so that it could break out economy and they could have a monopoly.

Over here in BC our minimum wage has stayed the same for years so I don't see where that "aside from a very slight minimum wage increase as of recent" came from.

Bc is one of the most stable, but coming from Alberta is where 90% of the problems are and the reason we are #3 in the worlds proven oil.

Not only is the minimum wage in Alberta higher but the unemployment rate is also higher in BC, so I don't see how that's more "stable".

because while BCs employment is 0.1% lower than albertas, their government is much better and they give BC some breathing space.
