Come to Montreal! Our AirBnB listings peaked at about 0.025% of all apartments in 2018. If you still genuinely believe AirBnB is the problem where you live now.

I didn't say AirBNB was "the" problem. It does contribute in a significant way.

Have you seen the rental prices in Vancouver, or CRD region?

Sure I did. Also AirBnB peaked in Vancouver at 0.05% 5+ years ago of all condo stock. Thus I don't see how 0.05% of the all units can anyhow influence the market.
