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.

Foreigner should be banned from buying investment homes while there is a shortage of homes for Canadian residences. This can be reviewed at a later time after we’ve controlled the immigration and housing problem.
@9VWRXVT6mos6MO
Permanently banned them. If they aren't it’s like why why do you get the right by home but the guy who lives here doesn’t know if that’s someone who lives here but isn’t a citizen oh good so when you get citizenship, then you get all the right becoming a Canadian citizens.
@93RRW9Z3yrs3Y
No, but they should be a citizen here to buy a home
@8VVNT5V4yrs4Y
Limit the amount of homes they can purchase forever and levy higher taxes and vacancy taxes on the homes they do buy.
@8VS7YDP4yrs4Y
Foreigners with no knowledge of the English or French language, that originate from questionable countries like China or Iran, and that have no intention of living in Canada and respecting our nation should not be allowed to buy homes and drive up the price
@8VRJ6FF4yrs4Y
If you don't live in the country than yes

Are they foreign and living in the home they buy? They should not be banned. Are they foreign investors buying up property? They should be banned.
@8VJHCRQ4yrs4Y
Should be banned from buying houses ever. Leave Canadian houses for Canadians
@8VJ2V7V4yrs4Y
Banned, but 2 years is a long time
@8VHN27ZNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Only if they’re buying to rent it out and make it overpriced. You should only be able to buy a house to live in, where you live.
@97NRTW82yrs2Y
Banned until they become a permanent resident or citizen.
@97L3QX62yrs2Y
Only if it isn’t their residence
@8Z8998R3yrs3Y
Depending on the intent. It would be allowed if it were for the intent of real estate investing, not for living in
@8VRMKC44yrs4Y
if they aren’t legal in canada then yes but if they are a canadian citizen then they should be able to buy a house whenever
