Why should Canadians have to pick up and move because foreigners want to park their money in the RE of Vancouver, Toronto or any other region of the country?  What is a country for?  Capital convenience?  Should we just stand by and watch the best features of our biggest cities and their economies hollowed out for capital convenience?  The capital convenience of foreign investors who don't have to make a full commitment to living, working and paying full taxes in Canada?

One doesn't have to be a "market hater" to believe much more robust government policies are needed to severely restrict foreign capital in Canadian RE.  There's no other way to re-establish some sort of relationship between the local economy and the prices of housing and land.
