Overly penalizes existing businesses and dooms them to a competitive disadvantage to startups who automate right away and don't displace any existing workers because they never hired any in the first place.

I dont think it'll just be entry level jobs, the retail industry is already dead thanks to amazon, yang said truck drivers will be next.

LOL that won't work
Not just entry-level folks, automation is already booting professionals out of their jobs... FOR example the insurance industry ...
Fine, then people will keep their jobs. Cancel UI.
Well, maybe I should call them not entry level jobs, but not requiring a lot of... mental activity?
Why?
Or they will still be canned and the robots will not be in Canada. Make it cheaper to import than do it here and guess what happens. I have seen many businesses driven out of the Province by the gov't trying to "protect" us and making it not cost-effective to continue to operate in this jurisdiction.
That's a good point. Back to a drawing board.

This is how capitalism reaches its peak, employers wont have to pay anyone, so if we follow that logic, every job is up for automation
I suspect amazon will expand AWS to include robots and ship them out to employers
Capitalism needs consumers.

On the flip side, lots of high income people spend a crap-ton of money on junk which they then abandon and buy more junk. At the bottom end, food and housing uses up all your money. It would be interesting to see how much consumerism depends on the group just above surviving.
They are not dumb - they are not going to migrate to a country without jobsImMigrants
But keep this system up and the resources of planet Earth

I think we need to stop assuming that some jobs, many jobs even though they require no "education" or experience don't deserve higher pay.
The question should be "how bad does the work need to get done?"
I seen many debates on the actual costs of minimum wage.

I believe we should let the market determine wages and right now our government won't. For example, because there is such a labour shortage in Canada and that pushes wages up, we flood the country with refugees and immigrants to artificially force wages down. The result is high rents, people living 20 to a house, and employers who continue their bad behaviour.
No more free government training. You want employees who can do the job? Train them yourself. Trucking companies are the worst offenders, getting immigrant labour that is poorly trained and wage-exploited.
I look at some of the jobs, what they pay and what it costs to live and I can see the crisis coming. People will be living in shanty-towns before you know it. If we let the market determine wages without taking measures to force wages down things will change IMO.
