    don’t know about canada specifically, but in every american housing market i’m familiar with the overwhelming majority of housing is bought up by the local/national parasites.

      Because American companies tend to have higher capital because of “innovation”. That said, it is also the same issue here in Ireland because of intrinsic ties between the two countries. American (and Canadian) vulture funds buy up properties here and charge rent ar extortion rate. Foreign multinationals are the real bad immigrants, not the ordinary everyday immigrants. And yet, the blame is shifted to the latter because it’s a tried and tested method for the elites to pick everyone’s pocket while being distracted.
