Yes! Every Canadian municipality and provincial department should do this.

Not just municipalities, not just Amazon and not just Canada:

Hell yeah. I would also hope as many engineers as possible resign from SpaceX, Tesla and the Boring Company, but sadly too many of them probably a) have no problem with their boss's ethics or b) are financially stressed and are afraid to do so, or c) are addicted to the lifestyle enabled by their pay grade.

The biggest trick capitalism pulled on all of us is keeping wages 'not too low, not too high' so we are all not starving, yet afraid to walk away from our jobs.

H1-B visas. They keep working there because they don’t want to leave the US. Often they have entire lives and family in the US and have not simply been there for a few short years.

Ah, yes I forgot that angle -- that period of indentured servitude (slavery) for the hope of being allowed to participate in the illusion of "The American Dream" ...
