Top 100 CEOs Will Make Nearly Double....

It's only the second day of the year, but Canada's top executives have already made more money than the average Canadian. A report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) has found that Canada's 100 best-paid CEOs made the national average wage of $38,998 by 10:33 a.m. on Jan. 2 and will continue to earn that amount ever nine hours and 33 minutes for the rest of the year. "Most Canadians are heading back into work with a mound of Christmas bills and financial worries but for Canada's best-paid 100 CEOs it's like Santa Claus delivers every nine hours," said the report's author, CCPA research associate Hugh Mackenzie, in a statement. By the end of today, the average of the top CEOs will have made more than $65,000, the report added.
