Starvation wages

The disparity between Canada and US wages is huge. When I quit my job the company offered nearly double my wages for a US replacement.
Why are Canadians treated like this? We have all the same skills Americans have, but are paid starvation wages.
Seems like something the Canadian Government should fix.

Your perception of reality sounds like it's coming from the mind of some guy who works at a minimum wage-paying job in Canada. The truth is, even when one considers the exchange rate between the Canada and US dollar, the Canadian minimum wage is higher, hence has greater buying power than what's typically paid as minimum wage anywhere in the USA.

For you to speak about working for starvation wages is actually all about you, not about what the minimum wage guidelines are set at in Canada.
