I'd say it's a natural result of massive oligopolies, combined with the retarded labor policies we've implemented through covid.
There are very few cell networks in Canada. Rogers, Fido, Bell, and Shaw, providing coverage over an area larger than the US. If there's a problem with one of them, that's a huge percentage of the population unable to communicate, because there's no other options. The same companies have internet oligopolies. If a piece of key infrastructure at Rogers goes down, there's a huge chunk of the country without Internet.
Second, I strongly believe that WFH is going to ultimately be career suicide for 98% of people who get into the habit. Lots of people are working from home, and they don't have access to their coworkers, and they don't have access to the equipment, and they aren't in the office, and maybe they're being distracted by other stuff.
It drives productivity down, and I suspect that WFH is one of the reasons why all these big tech sites and big infrastructure has gone down in the past 2 years.
