Could the newly hired 7500 people be due to almost all stand alone franchises being open for 24hrs a day now plus all the new locations that have probably opened since? I'm sure McDonalds is smudging some facts regarding creating 7500 jobs to make for a heart felt PR campaign of "McDonalds loves Canada so much we just created 7500 jobs!". Of those jobs how many of them are full time positions vs part time/student jobs? How many people did the company lay off last year? How many people quit the company per year? How many of those jobs are beyond store level and actually with head office or IT support? McDonalds is a straight up evil corporation that masks that image with a smiling clown lol.
$15/hr as a new minimum wage is great in theory but its going to cause a lot of problems as other employees with more seniority/responsibilities won't reap the benefits of an additional $3 an hour on top of what they currently make on an hourly basis.
...but this is about TRU and 7.5 billion dollars is a lot of cheddar they are trying to dodge paying out. I really can't see them being open past the holiday season.
only an opinion here, not trying to start any wars...long day at work haha.

I agree with you on the McDonald's stuff. There's no way they eliminated all but one till and hired more staff.
But on minimum wage though. Businesses complaining are the same ones that have no problem paying employees the lowest they can. In the end they will just raise prices so they can keep making their huge salaries and most likely use this as an excuse to lay people off and keep others at the new minimum for longer.
I live in Alberta and its funny how many people are complaining about the hike here yet have no problem with rig workers making 100k+. Most of my family works in the oil field and some complain about people making $15 yet would never take a pay cut so we could have lower gas prices lol.
