Olivia Chow wants to bring Toronto’s downtown back to life — and she’s meeting bank CEOs about increasing office days to do it
Toronto's mayor has been meeting with the CEOs of some of Canada's largest companies to discuss how to get workers back in the office at least four days a week

And asking them to fund better methods for getting downtown, right? Or subsidizing food costs so restaurants don't cost a lot, right? Or not working employees to death so they don't mind staying downtown every so often, right?
No, no, gotta make employees come downtown, that'll solve it. What little I could read, the banks are asking her to lead the way. So now it's up to Queens Park to improve the city, which the province will not fund, which will mean half measures and shitty work for the rest of us. Great job Olivia, try harder.
You bring up a good idea, we should start to normalize employers subsidizing commute and office lunches, if they are going to require people to be in the building of their choice when workers could have done just as well from home.
I am remembering an article months ago that stated Toronto businesses were having trouble employing people due to cost of living driving up wages.
So while I'd hope we could argue for the above, I don't think the top earners want to give up anything. Or rather they (the top earners) realize this, know a return to work will kick off people quitting for company's that are remote, and have told Chow that she has to deal with the consequences, aka finding a way to travel the city better than currently and food prices to calm down or for rent prices to drop.
