I guess the surprising thing is that depending on the province, a gross salary of $150k nets well over $350 or so per day (before union dues, CPP, benefits, etc). Ultimately though, $250 is less than a day’s work.

Like, I get that you might be supporting a kid or 5, and maybe live in an expensive city, and that $150k doesn’t support that. Canada is fucked right now, and that’s not lost on anyone. But if that’s the case then $250 is like a squirt gun on a forest fire.

This is exactly what I am getting at. Also I think others might not consider that them and their partner are clearing that together. The over 150k I'm referring to is household income.
