Pension and Minimum Wage

John Cummins opposed Premier Christy Clark’s minimum wage increase, but he’s happy to take a $100,000.00 annual pension for himself. He doesn’t think hard-working low-income families deserve a raise, but said he took the pension because in his own words, “I owe it to my offspring.”

And the cherry on top? Cummins wants your vote so he can collect a BC government paycheque every week.
