It is curious to me the way that, week after week after week, this winter has been the most snowy, miserable, transportation-crushing winter that snow-blanketed Vancouver has seen in decades...

... and yet the Globe and Mail keeps trotting out the narrative that, oh, the volume of house sales is down there in recent months because of that massively-huge (roll eyes) real-estate-crushing FOREIGN BUYER TAX that the government recently implemented.

Hello?

This is REALLY strange reporting.

The Globe and Mail usually CANNOT CONTAIN ITSELF from pointing at climate change as the cause of this, that and the next thing.

So it is REALLY STRIKING that this paper ignores that massively snowy Vancouver winter as such a situation, and instead points desperately at the foreign buyer tax as the reason for low volumes of house sales.

Who is cheering this strange reporting? The government? The realtors? Both?
