Regarding staffing, that is a good point, as I don't know how many support staff this will actually mean for local employment. I recall from the Facebook outage this year, their datacenters were almost empty of staff because of Covid and they had to physically bust down the stores to fix their routers.

I'm guessing they've already explored ExpressRoute as an option?
The staffing thing can be good or bad. Remote means you can hire talent where ever it exists, though typically within the country as you'll have headcount in that specific subsidiary. So you could live in Calgary or at your cabin near Lake Louise for all it matters, as long as you have solid connectivity and can fulfill the requirements of the role.
