$8 in Ontario right now.

I'm of mixed opinions about this. While you can't live in most places on $8 an hour, most of (and this is a big generalization) the minimum-wage workers are high school students who don't really have expenses. A few provinces have tried instigating a two-tiered minimum wage (such as BC's training wage - first 500 hours at $6, and then $8 thereafter), but those plans seemed to backfire as well, because businesses could simply hire kids for 500 hours and then find some excuse to fire them.

All in all, I'm still not sure whether it's a good idea or not to raise it up to $10.
