Alberta: $12.20->$13.60 (11.4%)  on October 1, 2017
BC: $10.85->$11.35 (4.6%) on September 15, 2017
Manitoba $11.00->$11.15 (1.3%) on October 1, 2017
Ontario $11.40->$11.60 (1.7%) on October 1, 2017
Saskatchewan $10.72->$10.96 (2.2%) on October 1, 2017

Multiply those numbers out by the millions of workers in those provinces who are working at, or just above minimum wage and I think the September number is just the tip of the iceberg for fake wage growth (legislated vs. organic) over the next 3 months.
