That's the problem with having a minimum wage that covers an entire province.
Metro van cost of living is a lot more expensive then the rest of the province. $17.85 would be fine most anywhere else except places like Kelowna perhaps.
Its sort of the cost of living in a place like Vancouver though, if you want to live with dignity while working a minimum wage job maybe try moving to a smaller rural town.
If we set the minimum wage to $27 just because of Vancouver then everywhere else will be living like kings.
