China

“Homes are expensive…too much foreign money…rent it out of control” and literally in the same breath the story becomes a propaganda piece on Ukraine support from Canada.

Dictators gonna dictate I suppose.

One might ask who’d want to live under a dictatorship like Trudeau?

When do I become eligible to apply for asylum?

I don't "get" Canada.

First, "bless their hearts", and I mean that in the sincere way, and not in the southern "go @$#@ yourself" way. Wonderful, wonderful people.

That said, it has a highly educated population, high quality of life, technically advanced, land and resources beyond the dreams of avarice and a friendly trading partner that does a lot of the heavy lifting and practically no need of "border defense" because of geography.

Canada should be "killing it". How in the world it ends up on the rocks for stuff like this is beyond me.

Best,
Rich

I wouldn't want to have a young growing family now and wanting to buy a home to raise my kids in. I live in a small city an hour from Toronto where My house value has quadrupled from 2004 to now. There is an abundant amount of buyers from China buying homes in large cities such as Toronto and Vancouver where there's a large communities of foreign speculators taking their unsecured funds from China and investing it in a very stable country like Canada.
I don't think it would really matter if it was Trudeau or any other "leader" but I believe they would make the same decision to try and curtail real estate inflation.
Just on my street there's been 2 homes bought and torn down from people (Canadians) from Toronto who themselves sold their homes in Toronto for substantially more money then they bought them originally for and are building homes larger and with larger lots. They sell their homes for $4M in Toronto and buy and build here for less then $2M then pocket the remaining.

Is this not “Canada first”?

Anyone interested in a waterfront condo in Montreal, Old Port. We don't use it enough.

Bless their heats does no mean f off. It means their minds are too feeble to get the point. It is sn expression of sympathy.

Wife and I spent the long weekend in Montreal. Our first time visiting. We really enjoyed it.

We call it the European city of North America, with fabulous food and a sweet exchange rate.

Far more interesting to me is the fact that the "monied" people of China are so anxious to get their money out. In similar fashion, when I visit my son in Mclean, VA, he points out house after house that are kept in pristine condition with elaborate attention to yards and landscaping that are simply empty. These are not cheap houses. Three to ten million is the norm.

With at lot less on line research than I would have thought, you can find connections to foreign countries where only the government officials have such assets.
