I agree with the comments that in summary, the so called "living wage" for government employees, roughly defined as, you deserve a $100,000 baseline for putting in 10 years of anything and work up from there, is killing the rest of Canadians.  The ~30% of government employees will continue to vote in Liberal governments that will feed their desires whatever happens to the rest of working Canadians.  This move may be one of the easier sells, but I think the top marginal tax tax including property, GST and other has to be about 75%.  Is that the new "fair share"?
