    This simple poll proves we are better off.

    Is the lowly worker underpaid? Of course. But you capitalists are all about the "incoming tide lifts all boats" BS.

    Except when it doesn't, it's Teudeaus fault.

    We are doing much better relative to other G8 counties. And since we are (or should be) a net exporte of goods and services, a strong US $ and inflation is good for us.
    The minimum wage worker isn’t underpaid, they’re doing a job that requires minimum skill, if paying a 14 year old $20/hr for shoveling horse shit makes you feel good, go find those workers and give them a top up. I imagine you won’t because that would affect you directly

    Stop comparing us to other countries like Trudeau does, instead, take responsibility and ask how we can just make our country better instead of comparing debt levels and such. How about we get out of debt instead of saying “it’s ok” just look at where we rank compared to other countries.

    Cumulative price change in Canada in 10 yrs is 25%.
    An $80k salary in 2012 should be $100k just to remain at par with everything else.

    $500k 2012 house would be $625k to remain at par.
    Find me that house. It's $850k+ well beyond what someone's salary is moving at.

    Add in tax increases and the depreciation of the Cdn dollar against the USD and, no you are not doing better unless you have an offshore account and are on PJ's every other long weekend.

    This is not a metric of hard work, smart work, etc.

    That 2012 80k salary is also closer to 80k than 100k in 2023, for the average person.

    Basically why a large contingent of people think Rome is gonna fall. Also likely why governments disarm citizens.

    Almost EVERYONE in Alberta with their head screwed on straight is.doing better than ever.

    Quit your whining. This poll proves it despite the few assholes voting against because they are anonymously trolling.

    6.6%? Lol. 3%, too low, let's crank rates. 6% too high, let's blame Trudeau.

    Quit yer sniveling. You are trying to split atoms.

    Hottest economy we have had in recent history, lowest unemployment, most people polled here doing great, still you whining.

    Polish up the resume, work harder, take a night class, buck up little camper.

    Nobody ever bakes inflation into our current pricing.

    $80 today is ~$68 in 2019. We’re not in a boom by any means.
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    Derp derp....

    Hey, most people said they are doing better as is my experience out I'm the real world.

    There are a couple people in my transport circles that are doing worse, but they are the useless type set in their ways, thinking the way to do things is how they've always been done, and feeling entitled to keep benefiting like they always have done. If you made your living emptying parking meters, it might be time to think of moving on.

    But yeah, as this poll shows, anyone with reasonable intelligence (and will) is doing just peachy.

    New poll.
    What's the average experience of people wasting their typing by posting in a fuckin Toma thread?!?!
    How's the intelligent discourse going? Is it everything you had hoped for?
    FUCK OFF!!!
    You say something, and retardacon says something about your tiny hands. Rinse, repeat. Well come back to that???!

    Be better than this, you fucking morons! You don't have to entertain this Missing Link. Your clever arguments are not embarrassing the retard behind the catfish. Just let it swim away and die.
    Fuck!

    What I always wonder is what my words per minute typing pace would be if I had larger hands.

    Depends, you gonna start typing with both hands, or are you gonna keep using your right-hand for holding your butt plug from falling out?
