is it time for us to raise our minimum wage in british columbia?

Yes!!British Columbia is a beautiful place. There is  so much things you can do, rock climbing, biking, hiking, camping,swimming into the pristine white sand beaches , lakes and not to forget, We have the best weather in Canada :) but its very pricey to live down here, especially in Vancouver and Victoria. Apartment prices are for a Bachelor's pad  is 600 to 700 dollars to start off while one bedroom ranges from 800 up to 1100,, two bedrooms starts at 1200 to 1600 hundred dollars. How can an average Canadian can afford if the minimum wage is 8 dollars or what 10 dollars.How can a family survive with 8 dollars an hour much more, If they have kids. If you do the math an average Joe will be left with nothing. Foods prices alone is insane, no wander why most people will end up buying noodles and cheap breads. and that's healthy eh?
