New Thread for Minimum Wage

We are on a good roll, lets keep it going :) I agree with everyone, lets keep it to Vancouver, keeping it focused will help us focus our five questions. I also agree with having 2-3 on causes/prevention and 2 on solutions/treatments. So then does this mean that we are stepping away from the personal initial question of "How does poverty affect you and your family?" A) Greatly B)Slightly C)Not at all

I also think that Hanakhalil suggestion of "do you agree/disagree that increasing minimum wage is necessary for reducing poverty in British Columbia?" is good.

I think that DaliaElramly raised a good point in that we define poor more specifically... the question " do you mean those with lower income? or homeless?" Maybe should just focus on poverty (also low-income, government assistance) since that is the original topic? Is trying to include homelessness too much for five questions? thoughts....?
