"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 โ€” not that they aren't working at home, but it really affects the downtown."

I assume that the need is so great that they will give everyone a significant raise for coming back to the office that covers their need to buy things downtown and their additional commute time, right?

Right?

Not only that, what about the downtowns where people actually live? This is basically just picking winners here, saying those downtowns don't matter, but the ones in major cities do. Pretty shameless exhibition of picking winners and losers here...

I bet the restaurants would do a lot better if everybody got a raise.
