Conservatives have no issues with overpaid corporate executives receiving millions of dollars in pay, in fact they cheer it on, but the moment "tax dollars" enters the equation everyone needs to be working for pennies.

Ontario releases its annual shame list of public sector employees who make more than $100k a year
- Thread starter FriskyCanuck
- Start date
$100K is downright generous to use as a cap. Poor suckers in Saskatchewan:
As part of the government's commitment to accountability and transparency, the Saskatchewan Health Authority discloses
payments of $50,000 or greater made to individuals, affiliates and other organizations during the fiscal year.
You'd have a hard time finding any full-time government employees who don't make that.

LOL it's always amazing when people act like 100K is a small amount of money. BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH TO BUY A HOUSE WITH STRAIGHT CASH AND OWN TWO CARS AND SEND 3 KIDS TO AN ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOL AND STILL GO ON YEARLY VACATIONS
Plenty of people that make $100K...$300K...$500K are also "front line workers in various public service positions". Alot of people are clueless on how much people actually make. It's why many politicians cling to their jobs, because they might never make $125K or so again. This was also covered in the "Abolish Billionaires" fallacy thread. By every standard, a person making $100K is upper class in any official governmental category. I make significantly less than that and sometimes feel bad about how much money I make.
damn I can see why Toronto/GTA might have a housing crisis.
6-figure salary seems attainable in various GTA regions..
Everyone working at OPG seems to be making 6 figures. What a heck of a place to work!

I have experience working with the government in the States as an IT consultant. If anything, I'd argue that government should pay people more in order to attract talent. I worked with far too many government employees who were flat-out incompetent at their jobs and practically useless. It was mind-boggling to witness my own tax dollars being wasted.
Absolutely. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. They need to incentivize people to give a shit. Hence why I can't blame anyone at the courthouse or DMV or post office when the service sucks. I'm sure I wouldn't give a fuck either if I was barely being paid.
Straight cash ? Multiple cars ? You're dreaming . I don't make 100k but I'm closing in on it and I share a house with my brother . My kid ain't going to any private school . Cheapest houses are 550k here and in Ontario I bet it's the same or more
The correct way would be to publish job titles and the distributions of pay for each title. If you want social statistics then add gender/race etc graphs too. Adding names just promotes harassment.
Never understood this phrase. Do monkeys ever eat peanuts?
Yeah you're lucky if you get a decent house anywhere near GTA for $550K.
"BUT WHY DO YOU LIVE CLOSE TO GTA????"
Because that's where the damn jobs are.
Only in captivity. I think the phrase comes from zoo visiting folk
I worked for the Texas State government agency for a period of time and everyone's salary was public information. I made less then 53,000 a year so I am not understanding what this list is supposed to do.
Obviously the football coach was the highest paid state employee.

Transparency is fine but the $ amount is arbitrary. The idea originally was to discourage waste and highlight high paid CEO's and managers of crown corps. It probably made more sense in 1996 and could use some updating. That said from an optics pov $100k is still a lot of money for Canadians. Median Household income is just over 71k in 2018 for Canada
Per capita income just over 40k (2015)
Per capita income just over 40k (2015)
That's a low threshold. Numbers are published here too though. You can find any public worker's salary I believe.
I mean, a person who has like 20+ years of work history and that is only pulling $110k a year isn't really the same as some CEO making $1+ Million a year while the people below him makes pennies in comparison.

Who said anything about single parents? And you admit to living in a house ("but oh no I have to share a 3 bedroom home with a family member! No room for a mancave or gaming room!") Keep reaching man. No one told you to stay living in one of the most expensive areas in North America. And LOL at the guy above me acting like Canada, one of the world's top first world countries, only has jobs around the golden horseshoe.
Do you know that minimum wage in Ontario is $14/hour? Do you realize that your need to necro this comment because you kid can't go to private school, totally proves my point about everyone that makes less than half a million acting poor?
Because you...*GASP*...have to save up for a few years before buying your own house?
I never understood the point of releasing this data.
My folks worked at a university hospital and they had to deal with the same shit.

And weird conceptions around how relatively basic financial security is now some king shit
Canadian conservatives suck so much, I hate what Harris's legacy has done to enable this awful shield. Using public sector workers to destroy government employee lives and claim it's actually reducing debt, what a load of shit.
Uhhh that's crazy. Most of the people where I work are making 79-180k base and are making anywhere from 15-40k in OT.

They were earning 6M. Then Ford fired the entire board and the CEO, paid them all a severance of 10M each. The political interference caused the USA to cancel an acquisition, causing penalties of half a billion to be paid out. Also in the same signature we cancelled an almost complete Wind Farm to the total cost of a couple hundred million.

Lol yeah ill just petition for all large hospitals to move out of major urban areas sure . Or I could change careers right ? I commute an hour to work because I can't afford to live where I work. My house is cheap compared to the 750k near work. But I'll just switch jobs tomorrow ok?
So I have no right to support my family in the area I work without relying on another income supporting my mortgage? Who is my brother. My parents lent me the down payment because I made 50k at the time
But yeah I'm entitled sure .....
Driving an hour to work 10 hour days and sharing a house mortgaged 35 years.... keep hating the middle class it's a great look /s
No one brought up private school but you with your lifestyles of the rich and famous narrative bs
