Opinion: Ottawa embraces Luddite thinking in forcing civil servants back to the office
Briefly

The government's 'one-size-fits-all' return to office policy lacks solid rationale and ignores the productivity, quality of life, and diversity benefits of remote work.

Innovation should be assessed on its merits rather than its perceived disruptions; remote work could offer benefits that outweigh traditional office environments.
Comparisons to the arguments against cellphones and online shopping illustrate the inconsistency in how society evaluates workplace innovations versus personal conveniences.
