The nation's housing market has soared during the coronavirus pandemic, up 16 percent year-over-year, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). The Liberal Party is one of three major parties focused on this central issue.

Non Canadian citizens should not be allowed to purchase any kind of homes or residential property in Canada
@B2W3G4Y2mos2MO
Yes they should be banned for 2 years and have to pay a foreign buyer and vacancy tax. I also think immigrants who come should have trades to work.
@9RX6V4M8mos8MO
Should pay a fee to help prevent residential homes from increasing unreasonably for Canadians and making them not afford
@9RCJ67TNew Democratic9mos9MO
Foreigners should only be banned from buying homes in Canada if they are intended to be used as a rental property.
@9HLHYFV1yr1Y
no but only if it is going to be there primary residence, if it is not going to be there primary residence then yes not buying a home for a least 2 years

canadian citizens should be prioritized in more primary residence while imigrants and foreigners live in more temporary homes
@9DK45972yrs2Y
yes and implement foreign buy and vacancy tax
@9D6GKQK2yrs2Y
Foreign money needs to be quantified prior to the purchase to avoid the ability of foreign buyers driving up prices and increasing demand ie. how much do you have and where did it come from
@9C74DY82yrs2Y
Yes but only if it is their secondary residence

No, with the exception of a single primary residence

No, but international retail companies or their subsidiaries should be banned from buying homes.

they should be able to buy homes but not start a monopoly by automatically buying it all up.
@8XJY8NC3yrs3Y
No, implement foreign buyer and vacancy taxes instead but the taxes collected need to go to helping the homeless.

Individuals and family’s can purchase a home, but those “Investors” who take all the available market houses should be blocked

They should go back to where they came from

Only anything that isn't their primary residence

Enable more restrictions and fees so foreigners who enter the Canadian housing market. More regulation

if they rent it instead of buying
@942M3263yrs3Y
Yes, but we should allow only one residence to be bought.
@8VSDWHLNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, if they are purchasing to live in the home
@B4R9WKY1 day1D
You shouldn't ban them from purchasing a home but instead make homes more availible to canadiens compared from new immagrants.
