Shouldn't they be getting less? Everyone keeps comparing back against our still insane minimum wage and I'm finding this rather confusing... Alberta public sector is paid better than everyone but Saskatchewan and Nunavut - but if you went there you'd be truly in small/rural communities overall compared to Alberta.
My cousin (teacher) in the GTA is paid 20k less than her equivalent here in Calgary. Then chip away that income tax sales tax, cost of living in Toronto - so why are we paying so much more for teachers? This isn't 1998 anymore we're not desperately short needing to attract from elsewhere?
