Three parts to this article:
1. Realtors rebel... Who cares? Who even needs one anymore? Get your house on MLS through a non-commission realtor organization and you will have 5 over asking bids in a week. Realtors aren't a legal requirement and soon to be a thing of the past.
2. Foreign buyers tax is the wrong avenue to fix this problem. It will only cause NAFTA or some other international legal issue. A speculators tax would circumvent this issue as it affects all evenly. 7%-15% depending on how hard the developers cry.
3. Quebec should have its ability to sell Canadian citizenship removed. What a disgusting practice to say the least and they should be ashamed.
