Ottawa in the late 1990s was the epicentre for one of the largest explosions of shareholder wealth ever witnessed in Canada. Telecom Tornado, by the Ottawa Citizen’s former associate business editor, James Bagnall, tells the story of the fibre-optic boom that created hundreds of billions of dollars out of thin air, transformed the city’s skyline and briefly upended the idea of Ottawa as a government town. The book also details the impact of the global telecom crash that buried dozens of Ottawa’s firms including Nortel Networks, the century-old flagship. Finally, Telecom Tornado dissects the operations of a dysfunctional federal government.

20 世纪 90 年代末，渥太华是加拿大历史上股东财富最大规模爆炸式增长的中心之一。《电信龙卷风》由《渥太华公民报》前副商业编辑詹姆斯·巴格纳尔撰写，讲述了光纤热潮如何凭空创造了数千亿美元的收入，改变了这座城市的天际线，并一度颠覆了渥太华作为政府城镇的想法。这本书还详细介绍了全球电信业崩溃的影响，这场崩溃摧毁了数十家渥太华公司，包括百年旗舰企业北电网络。最后，《电信龙卷风》剖析了一个功能失调的联邦政府的运作。

ChatGPT 问答供参考：

In the book Telecom Tornado : Tales from the frontlines of Canada's capital, why does the author call the federal government dysfunctional?

In Telecom Tornado: Tales from the Frontlines of Canada's Capital, the author, Paul M. Tellier, calls the federal government dysfunctional primarily due to the inefficiencies, lack of coordination, and bureaucratic inertia he observed during his time in the telecommunications sector. Specifically, Tellier highlights several key reasons for his assessment:

1. Bureaucratic Red Tape: Tellier criticizes the federal government's slow and complex processes that impede timely decision-making. He highlights how decisions are often delayed or blocked due to excessive layers of bureaucracy and complicated administrative procedures.
2. Lack of Leadership and Vision: Throughout the book, Tellier points out that there was often a lack of clear vision and decisive leadership within the government. This failure to set a coherent direction often led to confusion, inefficiency, and missed opportunities, especially in critical sectors like telecommunications.
3. Interdepartmental Conflicts: Tellier also underscores the dysfunctional nature of the government's various departments and how they often worked in isolation or at cross-purposes. The lack of communication and cooperation between government entities resulted in fragmented policy approaches and ineffective execution of projects.
4. Political Interference: The author describes how political considerations often interfered with sound policy-making and decision execution. Political motivations sometimes took precedence over technical or managerial expertise, further complicating the government's ability to function efficiently.
5. Failure to Innovate: Tellier points out how the federal government was slow to adapt to changes in the telecommunications industry. The rigidity of government operations made it difficult for the public sector to keep pace with innovation in the private sector, leading to missed opportunities for Canada to remain competitive on the global stage.

These factors, in combination, contributed to Tellier's characterization of the Canadian federal government as "dysfunctional" in the context of its operations and policy-making in the telecommunications field.
