As is, we travel to Toronto about once a month, which is not enough for us to work really effectively, but still frustrating to me, and my boss travels there weekly or more, which impedes my ability to collaborate with him.
My company's HQ is in Tokyo. It takes me 12h to fly there (and about 18h door to door). 2h to Toronto, especially when you can still be productive on the train, is not the end of the world IMHO.And even the California-based tech companies' HQs are much further than Toronto.
Yes, we need to fix this. But I don't see a major impact on the tech business in the next four years from this.
