Exactly! In Canada the remote work should be encouraged, before the pandemic, a friend used to drive from his small city to the train station to go to Toronto, then public transport to the office plus walk, totaling 2+ hours in the morning and another 2+ going back, I remember him always exhausted, that or taking the 401 by car plus the wasted gas. Now, he enjoys the time with family and more energetic most of the time, while staying in his small city, contributing to its economy, how’s that a bad thing from the gov perspective?
