God speed brave souls! #tipping culture is a North American curse that’s very difficult to break. Businesses that offer a steady #livingwage instead of tips have to compete against those that offer the allure of big payouts. Customers could lead the way by not tipping, but they’d only be punishing the underpaid workers. The whole culture has to shift at once and there are very influential groups determined to prevent this from happening. #yukon #PovertyTrap

CANADA’S LOW-WAGE TRAP: The political economy of low wages, the affordability crisis, and what it would take to build a Canada where work pays enough to live on.

Canada’s affordability crisis is often framed as separate debates: housing supply, wages, immigration, and “support programs.” This series argues it’s one system with reinforcing incentives — and predictable winners. 7 parts: architecture, causes, non-solutions, migrant labour, business models, international evidence, and reforms.
