Canada’s Minimum Wage Debate Eases Job Prospects
Mainstream Canada reports a study by two university professors finding minimum wage laws reduce jobs in Canada, with limits and both sides offering differing views. It notes higher labor costs, slower hiring, and faster tech replacement, while hospitality might gain unskilled work. Smaller firms face higher training costs amid skilled labor shortages. Some small retailers work long hours for wages below provincial minimums by choice.

Travel Health Added to Blue Cross
Manitoba Blue Cross expands its Student Health Plan to include world wide travel coverage under the renamed Student Accident Travel Plan. The company touts lower prices, retained benefits, and 24 hour year round coverage for students, staff, and traveling groups, with a maximum $50 000 protection and hospital and medical charges. The plan targets parents directly after MASt withdrew earlier approval, hoping to boost market share through direct mail to Manitoba households.
