My post refers to "foreign money" and not "foreign buyers" because most of the former will never show up in the statistics as the latter.  Money from outside Canada can easily make its way through student visa "buyers," 10-year visa "buyers," work visa "buyers," permanent resident "buyers," and Canadian citizen "buyers."  Our federal and provincial governments do not compel all these "buyers" to file income tax returns or report non-Canadian sources of income that support their real estate purchases.  Our governments welcome unlimited real estate purchases by these non-citizens.  Our governments refuse to levy substantial, additional, annual taxes on the value of properties bought by those who claim little Canadian income  The GTA real estate market is awash in money that wasn't generated locally or nationally, which raises prices beyond what can be afforded by people who actually live in the region.  The "solutions"  to this critical problem aren't to be found in more "supply."
