Just yesterday the Canadian Federal Government workers based in Ottawa will now be required to come to the office minimum three days per week instead of the current two days a week.
Why the change? Because without the federal workers in the capitol city, the local business were not seeing traffic return to the downtown core. Plus, ridership on the new (2018) LRT has not recovered since the pandemic.
Will there be a backlash? Of course. It's not about productivity at all. It's a move to help support the local business.
Very interesting, Laura. I ask myself if one day we will beat the power of real state. In São Paulo, commercial buildings are rising up in plenty of neighborhoods, even tough a lot of old buildings are not fulled as before the pandemic.
Interesting topic.

Good move? Who knows.

Yes, it's strange.
They blame the lack of people on not returning to office, yet the downtown was not at 100% capacity pre-pandemic.
