Vancouver is now one of the world’s
Our Government has made
Vancouver a one Industry City

Where People are

Where people invest in the real estate rather than the community.
This is pushing Housing and Rents
Beyond the reach of Non-Millionaire

Other Cities, you know, they might be expensive
But they’re not as unaffordable as Vancouver.
Vancouver has experienced the greatest housing affordability

The Foreign Buyers Housing Tax of 20%
For years, foreign money has been identified as a key factor jacking up
Vancouver’s home prices beyond anything that local residents can bear.
“I think this speaks to the government ignoring the pleas—and not just ignoring,
But going against the pleas—of a lot of local citizens here,”
Maybe this is why you can Kiss Affordable Housing and Rents Goodbye Forever
B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman, found it possible to argue in 2015 that
Vancouver housing prices were “pretty reasonable”
And that foreign ownership of property had nothing to do with government.
The truth is
No foreign housing tax of 20% can touch the
240,000 Chinese immigrant investors
It's all because of the Citizenship-by-Investment Program
This program made these 240,000 Chinese immigrant investors ,

British Columbia’s international reputation as
“a jurisdiction where the rules do not apply to white collar crime, fraud,
Tax evasion and money laundering,
Maybe this is the reason why
Where even if the rules do apply, enforcement is absent.”
British Columbia Premier Christy Clark said
Fifteen global investors are already doing big business in B.C.,
Our government will introduce legislation in the fall to help convince new,
Major investors from China to come on the board, Clark added.

Metro Vancouver Real Estate is a Gold mine
The huge volume of Mainland Chinese multimillionaires who are coming to
Metro Vancouver to buy property is out of proportion to the
City’s relatively small size,
Some are paying 50% or more over asking price
Some Homes went for one , two million over asking price
Realtors in Vancouver came under question

Before the same opportunity to buy was advertised in Canada.

According to the Victoria Times Colonist report on April 13.
Making this a real Gold Mine for our Government and the City of Vancouver
Because of this

National Bank of Canada economist Peter Routledge has “hypothesized” that

Premier Christy Clark trip to China
It was the most expensive at $289,191.
It included $60,056 for the premier’s entourage travel costs.
The biggest item was $176,101 for meetings and functions.
Unspecified sponsors kicked in another $132,838 for those events.
The Government Plan
“Is geared towards people bringing money in from offshore.”
That’s profiting in properties as commodities not Homes
With over 200,000 wealthy foreigners,
Many of whom wanted nothing more than
“passports of convenience”
As permanent residents,
They are Canadian Citizens
They are entitled to all the social -benefits
Including health care- that those taxes might pay for
OR
They declared lower incomes than refugees.
Plus they get Canadian Citizenship so
These people are 100% Canadians

Because of our Government
The Globe and Mail, in a 2011 investigation,
Found a striking willingness to engage in fraud by consultants working with
Immigrant investors to Canada.
Of 22 contacted, more than 80 per cent offered to help doctor documents,
Including many who promised to make even past prison sentences disappear.
Jason Kenney, then the immigration minister,
Acknowledged that “crooked consultants” were a problem for the program.
Christy Clark has resisted aggressive intervention in a hyper-inflated market
That’s soured the dream of Home Ownership and Rents for non-millionaires.
Why did Clark fiddled while the market burns?
Maybe it’s the $12 million donated by
Real Estate Tycoons and Property-Development Companies to
Clark’s governing Liberal party over the last decade.
But here’s another reason
Clark might not want to spoil the real estate profit-palooza:
Maybe this is why you can
Kiss Affordable Housing and Rents Goodbye Forever
It’s
The vast sums of money flowing into government coffers
From just the property transfer tax.
Asian Money is so Important to the Economic Growth of BC.
John Horgan made his first trip to Asia since being elected B.C. premier
When a B.C. home is sold, the government takes a percentage cut.
The higher the price, the more the government collects.
With house prices soaring, the government is making a transfer-tax killing:
An astonishing $1.49 billion in the last fiscal year,
A 40-per-cent increase in one year.
The transfer-tax take was $562 million more than
The government budgeted at the start of the year,
Allowing the Liberals to balance the books
This is a Gold Mine for our Government
That's why
John Horgan made his first trip to Asia since being elected B.C. premier
It gave Christy Clark a key re-election talking point.
How big is this pot of money?
It’s more than the government got from lotteries and casinos.
More than the carbon tax.
More than tobacco. More than liquor.
More than royalties from forestry, mining and natural gas combined.
As the government rakes in money from real estate sales,
Clark says she’s worried about taking steps that would reduce home prices and erode existing homeowners’ equity.
Polls and demographic studies suggest those
Homeowners are more likely to vote and vote Liberal.
“Rich Homeowners were much more likely to vote than renters
71 per cent versus 54 per cent,” concluded a 2012
Statistics Canada study on voter turnout rates.
“Rich Homeowners tend to have lived in the area longer,
So they are more familiar with the candidates and where to vote,”
Explained pollster Greg Lyle of Innovative Research.
The same Stats Can study said older, wealthier voters
(who tend to be homeowners) are also more likely to vote than
Younger, less-wealthy voters (who tend to be renters).
“Renters tend to be more likely to support parties on the left,
While homeowners are more likely to vote for those on the right,” Lyle said.
In other words,
Rich Homeowners show up on election day more than renters.
And Rich Homeowners tend to vote Liberal to boot,
While renters tend to vote NDP if they bother to vote at all.
Is it any wonder Clark doesn’t wish to anger homeowners
Who now represent a crucial
Liberal voting bloc across a Metro Vancouver
Packed with critical swing ridings in the election?
Watch for Clark to continue to protect the interests of existing homeowners,
As the red-hot housing market increases their equity and pumps more
Millions into the coffers of the Liberal party and government. today
Vancouver should be one of the Richest Cities in the world but
Because Quebec, alone among provinces,
Admits thousands each year,
Collects the millions in “fees” for doing so,
This is how over 46,000 wealthy immigrants took a back door into
If each of these households owned
One benchmark single-family home,
Their financial impact on the market would be just over $24 billion
An estimated 67 per cent of the Vancouver market in a single year.
So as long as that narrative continues to play out,
For our Government and the City of Vancouver Higher Prices
Means the more the Government Collects
For our Government and the City of Vancouver this has to continue
Maybe this is why the BC. Government and the City of Vancouver are
Pushing Housing and Rents beyond the reach of Non-millionaires
