"They have to get people back to work," Premier Doug Ford said during a press conference on Thursday in Ottawa, standing next to Mayor Mark Sutcliffe.

"It sounds crazy. I'm begging people to go to work for three days — not that they aren't working at home, but it really affects the downtown."

it really affects the downtown

Well, I can at least respect the honesty, rather than the typical "collaborative work" bullshit.

My manager was honest about it for the first time and I had to call him out for saying we're expected to keep downtown areas alive when they could convert office buildings into living spaces with people there 24/7.

Downtown Ottawa services closed at 2:30pm when all public servants still went to work at the office!
