$15/hr means nothing if you have no job.  Ontario has the highest taxes, highest electricity costs, most regulations and now is now trying to be more union friendly.  Put all of these together and you had a 19th century economy.  Housing is the only thing keeping the economy afloat, FOR NOW.  

Wynne is so desperate to stay in power:

-Borrowing billions on top of the $330,000,000,000 debt which can never be paid off
-California's economy is 5X larger than Ontario's but our Debt is 2X higher, lot of teachers and civil servants to pay, with 40% of Ontario employed by the government. 
-Comparison's to Greece are not unreasonable given how much the lieberals have created an unsustainable lopsided situation between public and private sector employment
-Bribing Ontarians with their own money on electricity, 
-Subsidizing private pension plans, so you get to pay for someone else's defined benefit pension payments s the taxpayer

A higher min wage will do Zero in the face of these issues
