Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

Glad to see more pro-Canada sentiment from the business community. They appropriately point out the importance of immigrants to the province but no mention of the referendum questions on immigration policy. Should have been explicit IMO. Still acknowledging grievances too. Ugh, that vein runs deep.
Separation could also make it more challenging for Alberta to attract the labour needed to advance investment and capital projects. With 49 per cent of Albertans born outside the province or country, people moving to Alberta have been an important source of labour and tax revenue, bringing with them education funded by taxpayers in other jurisdictions, to the tune of $120 billion - one quarter of Alberta's
GDP.
