text: Vancouver is a great metropolitan city. Some of the newer immigrants from China are not assimilating into the Canadian culture as well because the Canadian government chose to give wealthy immigrants the priority to become citizens under the Canadian immigrant investor program versus those that would actually contribute and work in society instead retire here after 5 years.
  
  If you were referring to the whole housing mess then go blame the Canadian government on their lax rules and inability to put Canadians first. CRA doesn't have a clue who has been flipping houses and claiming principal residence exemptions the whole way because no one from Land Titles office (at least in BC) is telling them. Realtors governing themselves has also been another debacle of the government's hands off approach to that "profession".
