      It’s the perfect amount of time so that way republicans can win back in the midterms and 2024 and take it away. Then Dems can say, see look? We really tried but those garsh darn republicans messed it up

        It's probably actually a good campaign tactic to get out the vote, the liberals tried it in the last Ontario provincial election. Their argument was vote for us or the conservatives will cancel the minimum wage phase in, before suffering the worst defeat in Canadian electoral history. As a disclaimer, they were deeply disliked and had been in power for 15 years. They were in charge of a long period of austerity and further privatization, had a last minute hail Mary with the minimum wage raise and a bunch of infrastructure projects which failed.

          Good thing I see no possible similarities between them and the Dems here.

      It's not just federal employees, but yeah the phase in period is really long.
