Exactly. Add on CPP, EI, WSIB.

Also, another not already mentioned fact is that in Ontario right now there are two minimum wages: $9.60 for under 18, $10.25 for over 18.

So if both are now going to be $11 (I have yet to hear otherwise) that is an increase of $1.40 for employees under 18. High school kids flipping burgers while living with their parents are going to make out like bandits.
