Why does Justin Trudeau hate workers? Why did the LPC spend the day attacking the idea of $15.00. Surely, they've got a better argument then the NDP is being decpetive because it only affects a small number of people? They seriously don't think that's any kind of an argument. Just one more reasoon why no one in their right mind votes Liberal. They hate workers; they're neo-cons!
I guess you missed this:

On the streets of Toronto, Canadians of all ages were surprised to discover the NDP’s campaign promise was missing some important details.
Food truck worker Patrick McCormack said he thought the NDP’s $15/hr proposal meant that “that if you are working a job, regardless of what it is, you would be getting paid $15 an hour for that job.”
The NDP plan applies only to federally regulated industries not to service workers like himself.
“I would say it [the NDP ad] is probably a little bit unfair. I don’t think it is the coolest thing ever,” he said.
Gary Wright thought the NDP’s ad meant the party would be bumping up the minimum wage to $15 an hour across the country.
“It is definitely misleading. They should add the bit about federal employees,” he said after learning that his initial impression was wrong.
Waitress Katie Evans also described the NDP ad as misleading. She thought it meant people like her would be getting a salary boost.
“I’m an NDP supporter, [but] they need to make it clear what they are advocating,” said Naomi Garber. “I would have thought it was a minimum wage, which meant that anybody who gives a wage has to pay a minimum of $15 an hour.
“I would have been wrong.”
A young man soliciting funds at the corner of the street for a charitable group said he was “pretty pissed” that his impression of the ad wasn’t accurate.
People quite natually assume that minimum wage applies to everyone. When they find out otherwise they feel mislead. It reads as a huckster move.
