How about build back better. We know that the return to office is about control, and the economy as it pertains to the business real estate market.

Work/life balance provides so many benefits to family, the environment and mental and physical health. Capitalism doesn't value these.

Some points worth considering on social media
1. Too fast paced to allow journalists time to research
2. Therefore, personalities and conflict with personalities became the staple of reporting, in place of stories with substance

Canada will face hard times for a period, but trust PM Carney to rebuild the economy to one that resembles Germany, Japan, and South Korea in size and dynamism. Given time, the US will seek free trade renewal because it needs what Canada supplies. It's a time for Canadian patience and adaptability.
