Chrysler emerged from bankrupcy with a billion of taxpayer dollars in their pockets. Indeed to increase jobs in the automotive sector. We count four subsectors as part of the automotive manufacturing equation. This is the fifth year in row that automotive manufacturing employment has declined. Employment across all four industry sub-sectors continues to deteriorate this year. Canada or at least the manufacturing side of the automotive sector is in seriously bad shape. Canadian tooling sector. Virtually everyone of them very high skilled. And most disconcerting is that these are typically the highest skilled jobs in the automotive sector. Canada was never going to be able to hold onto low skilled jobs but high value added jobs seemed to be saveable. Politicians should be very worried. Government will just be a shot in the dark. My thoughts on this sunny day written from my secret vacation hide out. Sydney our friend took us flying. Kris was up first, and the boys returned beaming with excitement and gushing about how awesome their free-fall spin was. Yatesy decided against trying that one with me in the plane, though we did a few cool tricks that flew items all over the plane and kept us laughing the whole time. Thankfully we made it back to ground without me spewing in the plane, though it took me most of the drive back to actually feel normal again. Unfortunately there is no way to get our video from facebook onto this blog, but trust me when i tell you it made me dizzy just watching it. Hotel, i say very posh, we live nearby and have been planning on staying there since we moved here. But i am afraid to say we were a little underwhelmed, i think it had been the victim of hype. We had imagined it so much better than it really was.
