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.

Rewording of the above; Yes, they should be banned except for cases where it is their primary residence (and this should be rigorously confirmed)
@9FGLBQ52yrs2Y
Depends on who the foreigners persona in this country. If they are trustworthy than yes if not than no
@9DXWB742yrs2Y
Foreign buyers should be permanently banned, unless they are going through the process of becoming Canadian citizens
@95TDPWT3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if it's for business purposes (ex. Businesses that buy property to rent to employees or an individual purchasing properties to rent remotely)
@95GXWD73yrs3Y
Yes for investment property
@93KM6NJ3yrs3Y
Yes, foreigners should not own land.
@8VS9RGD4yrs4Y
Only Canadian citizens should be able to buy Canadian real estate
@8VS2WQ84yrs4Y
If they live in the country, they are allowed. If they use it as an investment property, no
@8VRH8TL4yrs4Y
Yes if they will not be living in it.
@8VKNSBL4yrs4Y
There should be no more foreign buyers in Canada. They own to much already and it isn't the same Canada I was born into.
The definition of foreigner is a bit vague. We need to make sure that foreign exchange students, diplomats, refugees and ambassadors/consulates, and others have housing although they're not considered citizens because they benefit this country so much.
