Ontario recently raised its daily jury fee from zero in the first ten days ($40 thereafter) to $120 daily from the beginning of service. That was the first update in 36 years. I have lamented here for many years the disrespect shown jurors for doing their civic duty. After long trials many working for an hourly wage have been forced into bankruptcy. Canada's lowest is $40 daily. The US federal rate is $50 daily plus travel and other allowances. Go to juryduty101.com for a list by state. Several are under $10. Ridiculous!
