Over half those polled rated him unfavorably. Nothing to be proud of. Those will be his best poll numbers in his term. Has there ever been a premier renege on so many election promises?

this is a fake visa boiler room and represents just the tip of the iceberg, if that. read online reviews by some former employees (who were likely in the dark) who could never figure out what their employer actually did. the other 100’s and 1000’s on the so called payroll used this co as a work around to get into the country

“Canadian Real Estate Buyers Are About To Lose 25% Of Their Buying Power”, Better Dwelling

If anyone has info (or links) regarding the implementation of these regulations, I would be quite grateful to know about them. It seems to me that, if they manage to overcome the obvious opposition of the real estate lobby, these regulations have a lot of promise.

Way to go, Josh! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/housing-expert-questions-vancouver-council-candidate-s-mansion-tax-1.4310442 Gordon agrees with taxing more expensive properties but presented an alternative scheme at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. He wants to see a progressive property surtax that would be offset by income taxes. That surtax would only be applied to the value of a property that exceeds a certain threshold. Gordon proposes a lower threshold than the one suggested by Swanson — such as an assessed value of $800,000 — and the tax rate would get progressively higher for more valuable homes. The surtax would target property owners who don’t earn income in Canada, similar to the two per cent speculation tax the NDP government proposed in this year’s election. The tax would make Vancouver homes less attractive for international investors and help drive down prices, Gordon said. “If you want to live… Read more »

A freeloader is someone who benefits from something without having to work. A speculator or foreign investor who pays no income taxes while holding onto a home or homes fits that description perfectly. Are you a freeloader like other speculators?

Roads? Schools? Hospitals? Clean water and air?
Housing is expensive for a reason. And taxpayers who pay to keep the system working are the main reason.
But of course: we should defend the hard won equity of all those foreign owners who illegally moved their loot to Canada. Doing otherwise would be racist.

Property values increase because of location. Functioning institutions make a location desirable. Scarcity of land (arguably a public good, if ever there was one) does the rest.

Oh my gosh, so now the freeloaders blame the home owners for their misfortune. So let tax the hell out of those who have already paid fair shares of taxes to build and support the functioning institution. Let take a few more pieces from these people and feed the freeloaders. What to lose! Didn’t know until now that freeloaders are greedy too.

SIDA, you are being disingenuous. The hard work and success of the entire local population as a whole creates the stability and desirability of region, making real estate desirable and valuable. Taxes pay for roads, healthcare, facilities, parks and schools. Some of the things mentioned are funded from income taxes, others funded by property and sales taxes. Do you not notice that realtors always mention location, proximity to schools and parks?
If someone is not paying any income tax, has never paid any income tax, and benefits from inflated housing, they are a freeloader. Plain and simple.

The surtax would target property owners who don’t earn income in Canada, similar to the two per cent speculation tax the NDP government proposed in this year’s election.
No the NDP didn’t just propose it. They promised it as part of their campaign and then broke their promise insulting anyone who voted for the NDP. Along with a bunch of other housing related election promises they reneged on like canceling the first timer home buyers loan program or stopping money laundering on housing. Why bother coming up with new proposals to cool housing when it is clear the NDP have no intention of implementing them. They clearly want the bubble bigger. A better discussion would be a coming up with a recall campaign and when it can be implemented.

You are 100% correct.
Anyone here who thinks the NDP is going to do anything at this point is simply dumb.
They could have halted the 20% rise on the low end at the start of summer. But nope.
They could have closed the FBT loopholes and cancelled the first time homebuyers loan.
Or they could have banned presales to non-residents or applied aFBT to presales.
List goes on.
They lied.

According to the International Monetary Fund, which has cited Vancouver as being at the crosshairs of money laundering and real estate speculation,
“There are cases of Chinese officials laundering the proceeds of crime through the real estate sector, particularly in Vancouver, and the Chinese government has listed Canada as a country that it wishes to target for recovering the proceeds of Chinese corruption,” noted a 2016 IMF report.

I hope the Chinese government leans hard on the Canadian government to get some action on catching money launderers from China. With the NAFTA talks not looking so great, the Canadian Feds will be relying on good trade relations with China more than ever. Up to this point we’ve been like the Cayman Islands for them. Just shove as much dirty money as you can into every thing you can buy in Canada that’s not nailed down. To keep the Chinese happy, repatriating dirty money will likely be a high priority for them. We also need an extradition treaty so the RCMP have some teeth to hunt down these scumbags and ship them back to the loving embrace of the CCP.

I wish I could write the titles for these news articles. Most of them like this would be something like “Real Estate Shills Spew Propoganda in a Vain Attempt To Protect Their Self Interests.”

I sure hope YVR/Whistler don’t trade stocks, for their sakes.
“Why isn’t this stock up at least 10% by now! I bought it over a week ago!

More lying and hypocrisy out of the NDP
The newly minted NDP government is under fire over allegations it spent taxpayers’ money to purchase a partisan advertisement.
“It is a classic example of hypocrisy,” Weaver said. “Frankly, I would’ve expected better.”

More broken NDP promises and hypocracy – NDP to stack publicly-paid jobs with campaign officials and well-connected loyalists
The B.C. NDP government’s hiring spree of partisan friends and insiders is “sickening” and the kind of hypocrisy that turns the public off politics, says Green Leader Andrew Weaver. “It’s offensive actually,” Weaver said in an interview. “And this is why the taxpayer gets so disenfranchised with our political system, is that you criticize someone for doing something and you do exactly the same.”

More pay to play and NDP gathering
“I want to thank you for coming to the end of these types of events,” Mr. Horgan told hundreds of guests, who paid $525 for single tickets and $3,000 for groups of up to seven, as he began talking about the record of his government.
NDP party president said such gatherings will continue within the bounds set by the new legislation, which caps individual donations at $1,200

So what you’re saying is you voted NDP last election? It’s good to see great grassroots NDP supporters such as yourself delivering unbiased information about your party. Kudos to you sir.

NDP is a one term gov. Maybe put pressure on Greens to call another election.

Vancouver and its surrounding region of shiny condo towers and affluent, resort-like amenities also has some of the highest levels of poverty and inequality in the country.
The study was released following recent discussion in the Lower Mainland about the under-reporting of income for tax avoidance. There are areas in north-west Richmond that are sharp anomalies, with very low-income levels despite high home values.

I am also noticing more and more camper vans and RV’s parked in Walmarts and on road-side that seem to get moved every day. There’s likely a lot of working people living in their vehicles and driving them to work every day. It is a crisis in every sense of the word, and truly sad that it’s gone on this long without any meaningful action from any level of government.
