Min Wage Fallout:

Kathleen Wynn's bribe to minimum wagers is beginning to show up in our grocery costs.

A supermarket of the same chain as the one that called it quits last week is trying to cover the minimum wage costs by jacking up the cost of a loaf of bread anywhere from 200 to 350 percent.

So far, the cost of a 3L bag of milk is the same, but meats and fruits are being jacked up. We bought tomatoes at the equivalent of $1.20 each and cucumbers at about 50% more than they were only a week ago.

So far, potatoes have stayed about the same, but grapes and apples have shot upward by up to 50%.

Throughout the store pensioners are seen digging through piles of produce in the faint hope that they might find something they can afford underneath or in the back of the shelf.

This is what happens when politicians, desperate to get elected, monkey around mindlessly with market place economics. 

It should soon become clear that Kathleen Wynn has not done any minimum wagers any favors when they take out their artificially fattened paychecks and try to buy enough things to eat.

Hopefully, this is going to become clear before they go out to vote.
