Obviously nobody here, especially me, has advocated a head tax.  Nice try...   But people living in Canada, who make lots of money here and elsewhere, should pay income tax, right?? Right??  Foreign students are welcome, but should not automatically get to become citizens.  And we should help students from everywhere come here - whereas now the vast majority come from China, because they have the money to pay very steep tuition.  And finally, nobody is suggesting any expropriation, as you well know - even if some taxes and controls were imposed, prior purchases will be grandfathered.   The biggest fundamental change will be immigration policy - sooner or later we will quit sucking up to the world's rich people, hoping for spinoffs from their wealth, talent, connections, etc. - instead we will take people by skills.
