I don't see this "Toronto" price increase story as being much different from literally dozens that have appeared in this paper the last few years.  Since the Vancouver series of articles the issue is front and center.  Government and the real estate boards in B.C. did nothing until the Globe ran their expose.  I guess that, like me, they don't read the South China Morning Post.  I don't dispute that this has been a long running problem, but, in general, journalism has gotten lax across the board.  G&M still stand out from a much poorer pack.  This shouldn't come as a surprise to you.  Finally, it's simply not that easy to write expose's especially when we have no statistics on foreign buyers whatsoever.  Yes, I have also heard colloquial evidence of problems, but you can't write a headline story on that.
