Researchers found that remote work could decrease transportation emissions by more than 60 per cent on average for federal employees, while increasing their household emissions by less than 10 per cent.

An incredibly obvious conclusion, but at least we have numbers now.

Jesus, with those numbers, it should be mandated that everyone (who can) should be working from home.

Yeah, at least mandating all gov’t employees to work from home who can work from home, alone would be a very good start!

It doesn’t look like it’ll matter: the Canadian economy is too dependent on real estate developers getting rich, and that’s who has the ear of our leaders.

I’d love to see property prices collapse and corporate landlords take it on the chin. Maybe it would result in more owner-owned businesses and fewer corporate and franchisees? Maybe it would mean more and more affordable housing instead of shoebox condos on top of a Starbucks+Winners+Bank+Loblaw
