I realize the Canadian dollar is weaker than the US dollar but $18.25 is a pipe dream for tens of millions of Americans. Our minimum wage is $7.25. As of today that is $10. 29 CAD. Wages in my area are a little higher, places generally pay $13-15 and maybe $20 for skilled jobs. But I know a ton of people making around $13. Even that is basically right at Canadian minimum wage after converting. Our housing isn’t cheap either.
