Employers also don't pay 200-300 an hour to most Canadians. Most Canadians make 25-35 an hour. That's nearly a 1000 percent difference. Meaning it takes about 10 regular Canadian workers to make the same amount an SP makes in an hour. Not only that but out of that 30 dollars an hour wage, roughly 1/3rd goes to taxes which support our healthcare system, the roads, public education, police force, free STI testing clinics etc. so that means most Canadians really only keep around 20-25 an hour.
