🇨🇦 Ottawa's Return-to-Office Fiasco Hits a Wall—Literally No Space for the Bureaucrats

The federal government just admitted it doesn't have enough desks to bring its own bloated workforce back four days a week starting July 6. The solution? Cannibalize 337 co-working stations spread across 12 sites—spaces already at 61 percent occupancy, with public servants literally lining up for an hour in Orléans just to grab a desk. Global Affairs has already bailed on the plan due to lack of room. DND, Justice, and Environment are scrambling. Meanwhile, union bosses are crying that telework is the real solution, conveniently ignoring that productivity theater from home is why no one trusts the public service anymore.

This is what happens when you hire tens of thousands of bureaucrats during COVID without a plan, buildings, or accountability. Now they're fighting over chairs like it's musical desks, all while preaching efficiency and climate virtue. The federal payroll is a Ponzi scheme with ergonomic keyboards.
