The federal government's job is to deliver services for Canadians. Being Ottawa's sponsor is not its main gig. Worse, Ottawa makes nonsensical choices that makes life hard for federal employees. The solution shouldn't be to throw more good money at a city unwilling to fix the problem.
Let's be clear. A lot of the issues with transit here are a result of deliberate underfunding and city mismanagement. The city wants low taxes and a car centric lifestyle. That's a choice. The federal government doesn't want stressed out employees taking an hour to get to work. Both sides can get what they want when the employees are moved out of the NCR.
