I love how the guy from the Fraser Institute on yesterday's The Current called 
for less emotional language in the debate and then said that min wage rises 
"kill" jobs.  I'd say that's a bit emotional.

Subject: [TURC] Minimum Wage, Canada vs U.S.

Hi All,


Curious how any of the economists on the list would respond to the argument 
that we can't point to recent studies from the U.S. that demonstrate no 
discernable disempolyment effect from modest minimum wage increases because 
Canada has more variable data?

We are preparing to release our Living Wage report and I would like to be 
loaded for bear to face the inevitable onslaught of the "you will kill all the 
jobs" lobby....
