Working remotely, really remotely, isn’t really that new.
When CNN aired Rosa Parks’ Detroit funeral in 2005, with Aretha Franklin singing and Bill Clinton praising the U.S. civil rights legend, few knew the artwork in the background was created in a tiny, isolated Vancouver Island hamlet.
Which just goes to show that working remotely, really remotely, isn’t really that new. Nor is the idea that — shocking as this might be in Victoria, a city with a history of falling in love whenever it looks in the mirror — not everyone is fighting to move to the capital. As hurtful as this might be to the local economy, it’s also a blow to the municipal ego, as it runs counter to our deeply held belief that anyone given a choice of where to put down roots would opt for the City of Gardens. If technology frees you to work in whatever community you want, why not pick the place where February daffodils outnumber block heater cords?
Except now the province is actually dangling as an inducement the idea that a government job need not involve coming to the capital.
