My Thoughts On The Minimum Wage Going Up Here In Canada

               To start today's blog post out by saying, I do not usually talk politics on this blog but today is an exception as this has been on my mind for the last month or so since they announced this was going to happen here in Ontario and Canada. I will try to keep it PG but not guaranteeing anything. Trust me there is a lot on my mind with this and I will definitely be making my points.


                 First point I would like is they have now raised it to $14 minimum wage and will be raising it to $15 as of early 2019. Now my question is, how in the world are the businesses going to be able to pay their employees 15 dollars per hour? What I think will happen is they keep this up they will have to lay off some of their employees which means the number of unemployed people will be up. Now I am hoping that it would of gone up not gone down, no damn clue what the hell this government is doing and why they wanna up it. Yes it is good for us the people who are working minimum wage, but it hurts the businesses in the long run too. Makes no sense raising it if it will hurt the businesses, especially the smaller businesses as well. I wondered if I was still with the bookstore, if I would still have my job still but probably I wouldn't have a job if I was still in the working world.


                     One thing is if the Progressive Conservative Party wins this years election as we are heading to the polls, they want to slowly increase the minimum wage here compare to the nut case who is the Premiere of Ontario, so it would be more then likely better, however you never know with who is in power, but change is always good. I hope the government doesn't rush minimum wage as I said above, it can hurt businesses, especially the smaller businesses, we do not want to see companies go under due to going bankrupt or not able to pay their employees which it ends up in unemployment for some.


Have a great day!

My Opinion on The Job Market In Ontario...

          First of all I gotta say this, I do not normally usually get political in my posts but this has been bugging me for the last while and I wants to address it this morning. As you all know I live in Ontario and I am starting to not like living in Ontario anymore and want to move out of this province because since 2015 and quitting my only job I had in my lifetime, to find work is not easy whatsoever and I am kind of to blame for quitting but I did what I felt right. I admit the government said they were going to create more jobs and I believe they were going to create jobs for people with a disability and yet were still waiting... I am one, not happy with the Ontario Government and change needs to happen and I couldn't be any happy for the election, hopefully for people to see the change in this province in many many years. Hopefully we can make change and hopefully things do change around and things get better for this province but you never know what will happen. Hopefully Ontario is tired of our premiere they want to vote for another party in but I do not want to get too political which isn't my forte in this blog whatsoever.

                
               Now in the way of the job search, I am clearly not sure where my future lies with my employment support as I have thought about leaving numerous times as my frustration to find work is getting worse and worse each and every 2nd week I am there so I've considered leaving but decided to stay on longer to see if I get a job but the second I start school I will have to take a leave of absence from it to attend school but school is my alternative move from searching for work and I am currently been looking at bursaries, OSAP anything that can help me through college and there are options for people with disabilities like myself so there are options. In conclusion as I am keeping this blog post a bit shorter as I am posting another blog post later on, but anyways I do got future and backup plans in case this job search does not pan out but I am grateful for having as many job interviews as I have had this year and anything still can happen.
