This whole living wage nonsense is crazy. Why is the employer responsible for anything other than providing the opportunity to work? The worker surely has the option to find work elsewhere or move to where this employment exists.

Government decides what a living wage is, as they've done. You want them to set minimum wage in different counties? Sounds like a terrible idea. Province-wide is a reasonable compromise.
I guess you've never had to pay rent or raise kids on minimum wage? Nobody is getting rich on $15/hr.
