Loblaw has an obligation to share holders to disclose issues that will affect profitability, and did this on the first conference call after government announcement.  That's called proper communication, not sabotage.  

The only province that has their budget in order is Quebec.  They raised the basic exemption limit from about $9000 to $15000.  Now an employee making $25000 a year will only pay taxes on $10000 of their earnings, instead of $16000 of their earnings.  That lowers their taxes and gives them more spending power.  Compare that to Wynne's solution.  In Ontario they chose to increase the amount of taxes EVERYONE pays (including the lowest income earners) so that they can increase government revenues.  Within a year or two, inflation will remove the benefits of the minimum wage increase, and everything will cost more for everyone.  People making between $12 - $15 will only get up to $15, meaning some will be reduced to minimum wage.  Another failure by Wynne.
