So, the minimum wage that can be paid in Canada is really a lot less than the minimum stated, right? In B.C., you can pay someone as low as $6. Ergo, BC has the lowest minimum wage. Don't allow corporate euphemisms, such as "training" wage, deter you from the truth and reality.

Response: It isn't really a "corporate euphemism" as you put it. It would seem like after 500 hours of job experience in your lifetime, they're required to pay you the actual minimum wage. It's a bit weird, sure, but calling six bucks an hour the actual minimum wage would be quite misleading, if not a straight up lie. Having it as an additional note works just fine.
[edit] alberta
I did not know that alberta had such a low wage before they also have the highest cost of living, or whatever the phrase may be, in all of the true provinces, aside from the northern territories which needs almost evertything to be flown in or have special winter roads made during the winter season. - edited --Dieselweasel 11:06, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
