People have commented the impact of this shift on SF/NYC etc, but based on this announcement the impact on smaller tech hubs will be even more devastating. Why would you now open a office in a smaller tech hub when you can hire someone from anywhere ? The impact of this in Canada can be huge

Maybe but it will boost tech community in villages.

  Why to open a office anywhere if you can just hire remote ? Why to have a hub in Vancouver or Raleigh etc when you can hire from anywhere ?

  Why hire in Ottawa if you can hire in somewhere cheaper though? I think that's what OP is getting at
