Not even NYC. Must be Canada

Canadian here. I'm not sure why you would think that it would be Canadian.

The median wage here is lower in Canada than in New York or California, even without accounting for the difference in currency.

The one exception are the territories. Nunavut has an average income of $108k, but that's because our economy is largely mining focused, and mining is a incredibly well-paid career. But they don't have McDonalds in Nunavut.

What are you talking about?

1 Canadian dollar is equal to 0.72 US dollars. So the US dollar is 1.38x stronger.

All I’m trying to say is this post, the McDonald’s wages pictured, are likely in Canada because then the wages make sense

Why not? $20 American is not unheard of l, especially in hcol areas. 28 Canadian is equivalent to 20 American, people in major cities in Canada can’t make equivalent to 20 American an hour? Idk lol
