Toronto-Scarborough Guildwood-Rouge Park riding. Liberal voter. After the Ottawa protests I will never vote CPC ever again (1980’s was the last time I voted PC).

Love travel, cooking, art.

Jobs growth in 2025 was way below the last two Biden years. By millions.

The vast majority of MAGA voters are on the menu with the rest of us. The oligarchs are carving up the country and are the only ones who are going to feast.

We had to chuckle this morning, when Joe Lavorgna, counselor to the Treasury Secretary, said on @cnbc.com that the jobs number is proof the economy's on fire -- but the fact that the gains were entirely from non-cyclical sectors like education/health care means the Fed can still cut rates.

National Guard troops were quietly withdrawn from some U.S. cities
