Re:Canada to ban foreigners from buying homes by hello_popppet on Thursday April 07, 2022 @01:42PM (#30947865)
I posted this earlier - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30945227. And no, it’s not supposed to be a tongue in cheek.

First of all, this “ban” is for 2 years. Secondly, majority of the homes bought, as in the stark-fucking-majority, are by investment firms. This ban doesn’t apply to them.

This is just another reshuffling of money that’s going to be pocketed by the government cronies. What are they going to spend $10B on? They aren’t the ones building houses and residencies, that’s for sure.

Other commenters in here are spot on. First they tried to swindle us by saying oh no no it’s not the foreigners, you’re just being racist and xenophobic. Now fucking what.
