The Liberal Party is one of three major parties focused on this central issue.

Yes, foreigners, specifically non-Whites, should be completely banned from buying homes or property and must be deported
@9TT4ZFPNew Democratic7mos7MO
of course NO! because the Canadian public can have 2 or three houses and more people are continuously coming in Canada so it might have space for them for leaving and if person buy a home they can give basement to someone for leaving and the apartment will also become empty

No, but this shouldn't apply to foreigners or businesses or anyone else that buy up a lot of homes to rent them out
