I was getting minimum wage of $5.95 in '98 at my first job, living in Alberta. I think alberta is only $7/hr now? Or have they gone up again recently? Either way, for being the richest province by far, they were always the lowest minimum wage in the country.
Whoop, just looked it up, Alberta is at $8.80 now and BC is trailing the back at $8, AB is second lowest now. I'm pretty sure I heard talk a while back about BC pushing for a minimum wage hike again though. Probably due in for one with the new HST and Alberta having given themselves a recent bump.
