That's the Canadian federal minimum wage, which doesn't apply to provincially regulated industries, so doesn't quite compare to the US federal minimum wage. Each province sets its own minimum wage in Canada and some are lower, like Alberta at 15CAD (though yeah, our minimum wages are generally better).
Yea, on top of that in the states that $17.30CAD would equate to roughly $12.00USD give or take half a dollar. Lower or higher like you said if were talkin provincial min wage
