New Thread for Minimum Wage

I also agree that "Do you agree/disagree that increasing minimum wage is necessary for reducing poverty in BC?" is good and should be one of our questions. It's very focused and to the point, and allows us to ask more questions about other aspects of poverty.

As for the definition of poverty, I think the second part of what Dalia just said is good. However just 'relating to individuals having an income below average' is a little too broad in my opinion. It should be people who are homeless or cannot provide adequate essentials for them/ their family.
