You're absolutely right, my opinion on minimum wage jobs has nothing to do with whether it's in the US or Canada. It's not as if Canadian minimum wage is that much higher than in the US, the average being around $11 CAN depending on where you live, or about $8.50 US. So that's still only about $23k CAN a year, or $18,000/year US. And, typically because of the weak Canadian dollar, things tend to be more expensive in general in Canada. The 38mm Watch Sport for instance retails for $399 at the Canadian Apple Store compared to the $299 price tag you'll find it at in the US.

So I stand by everything I've written.
