we live in a small town (8000).  My wife has owned a bookstore for 22 years.  She works 6 days a week and in the last 2 years has been able to hire someone so she can have half days off ad occasionally a full day. Shed currently pas more than the minimum and gives her employee about 20 hours a week.  She pays herself  (draw) and it is less than the minimum otherwise she would have to close the business. Business owners also pay 1..5 times for CPP and match EI contributions as well.  
THE SICKEST PART OF RETAIL IS... All her inventory she bought (sometimes years previous) is considered taxable each year(federal) as future income.   

Excessive Government control and regulations controls all of us.  They were elected by us to serve but they seem to want to tell us what is best for us.  They are good at "Do as I say, not as I do." How many elected officials truly serve their constituents?
