Among the nice surprises in today's 🇨🇦 jobs report: Manufacturing added 9K jobs in Oct despite Trump's attacks. That puts us above 0 on a year/year basis. Compare that to the self-inflicted LOSS of 78K manufacturing jobs in the US. Trump's trade war backfires for US workers.

Ford does not care about you or your family: he’s fighting so hard to crush bike lanes infrastructure so that you *must* get a car which the average cost of (used) is over $25k - not to mention the cost of food keeps going up, electricity costs, and income inequality is at an all time high!

I'd be curious to know if Bill 60's prohibition on cities doing anything but adding more car lanes, means that any consideration of HSR/transit lanes, on a hypothetically expanded Linc/RHVP, is off the table?
