Fucking hell my salary isn't even enough to cover 3/4ths of that rent. Pure insanity

$15 an hour seems to be about the minimum wage in Canada. $15x40x4.2=$2520 per month. If you're working a full-time job and you're making less than that, then your employer is breaking the law.

Some people work part time tho because the companies don't want to pay benefits....
