We have a lower average wage than the poorest state,

Wow. Even a cursory Internet search could show that this is wholly and absolutely incorrect.

The lowest Canadian minimum wage is $15/hr, in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The lowest wage is tied between Georgia and Wyoming at $5.15/hr.

The exchange rate means that $5.15 USD = $7.13 CAD/hr. That’s less than half of what PEI minimum wage is. And for the record, even if I were to work at minimum wage, I would enjoy $17.85/hr, out here in BC. That’s 2.5× more!!

And even when we look at averages, the state with the lowest average wage in America is Mississippi, with an average annual wage of $37,500/yr.

When we look at Canada, the province with the lowest average wage in Canada is Prince Edward Island, with an average wage of $56,887/yr.

Again, the exchange rate makes Mississippi’s average wage around $51,952 CAD/yr. That’s 90% of what the average PEI wage is.

Your conservative “alternative facts” are nothing but bullshit.
