TORONTO – The Financial Accountability Office is warning that Kathleen Wynne’s plan to raise minimum wage to 15 dollars an hour will likely lead to thousands upon thousands of conversations with your uncle about how the Liberals are trying to bleed small businesses dry.

“On net, we estimate that if the wage hike goes through your uncle will call you multiple times a week, and corner you at every family gathering to talk about this,” said the report. “Conversations will be concentrated amongst teens and young adults whose politics differ from their elderly family members.”

The FAO went on to warn that, while under the current minimum wage, the vast majority of those subjected to Uncle Conversations are his spouse and friends, under the new system nearly all of his time will be devoted to you, and you alone.

“We are also worried that many of those conversations will include terms like ‘Libtards,’ ‘Frau Wynne’ and ‘that bitch Kathleen’” warned the lead investigator. The intensity of these comments could vary, depending on the last time your uncle saw a Millennial treat themselves to a nice meal.

The liberals appear to be unconcerned by the findings however, insisting that the Ontario economy is strong and could withstand even the most drunken ranting by your Uncle.

On the bright side the FAO also found that the minimum wage hike could result in a marked decrease in your cousins asking to borrow money.

At press time you answered your phone without checking the caller ID again? You idiot!

Both my Uncles hate the Liberals. They both work for a Union that gives them raises every 6 months, life long learning, career advancement, benefits, paid 5 week vacations, etc.

They drink up the Conservative attack ads like kool-aid.

I really think that attack ads should be banned. Parties need to focus more on how well of a job they are going to do, more than how bad the other parties are. If the best thing you have going for you is that the other guy smells funny or has nice hair... Fuck... We're all fucked.

My boss likes to make passive aggressive remarks about this.. like how it was a dumb move for minimum wage workers to want minimum wage to go up because it puts "them" in a higher tax bracket.. meanwhile paying all of us minimum wage but talking about minimum wage workers like they are some body else.
