My house has increased in price 60 times in a period that the minimum wage - if it were raised to $15 an hour - has increased by 15 times.

There was a time that an immigrant couple could work at minimum wage, buy a small house and raise a family.

Now days, it would be difficult for them to pay the rent.

Time to ALSO increase the taxes on the real estate speculators if we need to keep wages down..

90% taxes on all gains, payable EVERY year they hold the property. THAT should force the foreign tax evading parasites out and make Canada competitive again.
