The Great Return: Why Remote Work Is Fading for Many Canadians

  Over the past few years, remote work reshaped how Canadians lived and worked, offering flexibility, reduced commuting stress, and a better work–life balance. But that era is shifting. A growing number of employers across Canada are signalling that remote options—once seen as a permanent fixture—are gradually disappearing. Several factors are driving this change.

People's March: Thousands Rally in Washington Against Trump Ahead of Inauguration

 

Thousands of demonstrators, predominantly women, took to the streets of Washington, D.C., on Saturday to protest President-elect Donald Trump just days before his inauguration. The event, known as the People's March, has been held annually since 2017 and was previously called the Women's March.

The march, organized by a coalition of groups with varied interests such as climate change, immigration, and women's rights, aimed to confront "Trumpism" and draw on past successes against autocrats. Despite expectations of 50,000 participants, around 5,000 people gathered at three parks before marching to the Lincoln Memorial for the rally.

Protesters carried signs with messages like "Feminists v. Fascists" and "People over politics," and many wore the iconic pink "pussy hats" from the 2017 Women's March. The event highlighted a range of issues, including gender justice, bodily autonomy, and democracy.

The People's March has evolved to address a broader set of issues beyond Trump's presidency, focusing on women's and reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, immigration, climate change, and democracy. Organizers emphasized that the march is not the endgame but a step towards long-term community engagement and activism.

Trump, meanwhile, arrived in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to begin his inaugural festivities with a private event featuring fireworks at his golf club in Virginia.
