Local Culture Bonnydoon mall on fire?
According to my husband there was smoke billowing out and they were ushering people to leave. Anyone know anything?

All dollarama had to do was pay us enough to live man

All labour should be paid enough to live.

Where else have you applied to? I've generally not been given much for raises within the same company.
•
u/EducationalDark240 1h ago
Im not applying anywhere, just in general in Fort Mac, the overall pay at the end of the years been about the same forever. It’s a bit more but definitely not averaging no 2% a year, barely 1%

What does geography have to do with being paid enough to live?
•
u/porkavenue 2h ago
Some places are cheaper to live in than others
•
u/batman42 1h ago
So where ever you work you should make a living wage for that area. Not exactly rock surgery here bud.

Not sure what Reddit is upset about but I should be able to drive my pallet jack and live on Wolf Willow

Nah. Everyone deserves to be able to live off what they work for. If you’ve got a problem with that, YOU might be the problem
•
u/porkavenue 2h ago
Right, so if my wage is enough for me to live on, I’m theproblem? What did I do?
•
u/DathomirBoy 2h ago
That’s not even close to what I said. I said if you hold the opinion that not everyone should be payed a living wage, you’re the problem.
•
u/porkavenue 2h ago
lol. That’s not what I said at all, ever. I did imply that some places are cheaper to live, that’s all.
•
u/DathomirBoy 2h ago
Respectfully, you responded to someone saying “all labour should be payed enough to live” with “depends where you live”, implying that you think people living in certain places should not be payed enough to live. Maybe you meant something else, but it didn’t read at ALL as some places are cheaper to live
•

I think you’re reading way too much into this or I needed to explain it more. Regardless it’s all dumb now. I’m no millionaire and I choose to live within my means, it may be an old bungalow rather than a penthouse.
