Sure, since it's happening on this side of the pond, too. "The provinces" have their own messes, like Toronto and Vancouver and Montreal (to some extent).

Same in "the colonies," like: San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Austin, the Bronx and Brooklyn (ways you know the real estate market has gone bonkers: people are buying in Manhattan because it's cheaper than Brooklyn).

Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland are getting the exact same double-whammy as London: very popular places to live along with very popular places for foreign investment.

Schadenfreude doesn't help anybody, really.

In a British context, "the provinces" is a rather pejorative expression for the rest of the country outside London. It doesn't refer to Canada.
