Minimum wage rising in five provinces but still short, reports say

Original: minimum wage

Minimum wage is set to increase in five Canadian provinces on October 1, 2026, but new research argues the raises still fall short. A Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives living wage update says Manitoba's minimum wage is not enough to live on, and commentators note increases are failing to keep pace with the rising cost of living.

Why now: New provincial minimum wage increases announced alongside a report saying wages remain below a livable level are drawing attention to affordability concerns.
