BB - Commuters get paid whatever min wage is applicable in the province that they work at. That's why, at least with temporary student federal jobs, a lot of people in the maritime provinces (i.e. Newfoundland, New Brunswick, etc.) really fight for jobs in Ontario or BC because they get their lodging paid for, and they get paid Ont/BC's minimum wage, which is substantially higher than theirs, and since the maritime cost of living is much lower, the buck goes far.
A nation-wide min wage is ridiculous. So a fast food employee living in NYC is likely to make the same measly $5 as a guy in, say, Nebraska?
