The Repudiation of Ralph Klein
 
Most governments drift after several terms in power.

The article acknowledges Klein's firts priority upon coming to power - reduce/eliminate the deficit.

Where he went afterward was the problem.

Yes, high wages but nowhere to live.

I heard an article about a couple that moved from Manitoba. Both got jobs the first day but had to quit and go back after a month b/c the rent at the motel they were staying at ate up the extra $$.

I don't know what minimum wage in Alberta is these days but it is about $8 an hour in Ontario.

$15 an hour for wait staff is pretty damn good.

Wait staff have conventionally made the minimum wage and lived off the tips.

Also keep in mind that most of the tips are tax free. Canada Revenue has a formula where they want to see some small amount declared as income. If you go by their guide they'll never bother you and you'll have a large amount of untaxed income.

In any case, your minimal wage seems to be a pittance. It must be hard to feed a family if you earn only that.
