Aw, pity the poor Loblaw company, with minimum wages to take a bigger chunk of profits, months into the future.  In case you didn't notice, they already hiked prices on a wide swath of common items by more than 10%.  Couple that with the recent cheapening of buying produce and other goods in USD, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Expect further price hikes on Jan. 1.  Way to go, Kathleen Wynne.  Companies will use the wage hike as an excuse to raise prices, so don't feel sorry for them.  But Liberal apologists will tell you the price hikes are merely a coincidence, and have nothing to do with raising the minimum wage.
