It does not suit the Federal Liberal narrative to do anything that restricts Canada's image as a so called global nation, including controls on our residential real estate being freely traded on the global market.

We would rather see two of our largest cities become collateral damage with short term and long term implications in terms of affordability and livability.

Poloz warns about speculation?  

He saw this play out years ago in Vancouver when it became the  least affordable city in North America to purchase a house. What, no lessons to be learned? No damage reports from the corresponding rise in rents, property taxes, empty homes, and the dislocation of workers and families?

Wilfully blind beyond belief.
