This newspaper offers such silliness at times.

Take this gem:

"In the wake of Vancouver’s slump, the latest Toronto numbers...".

Hello?

"Vancouver's slump"?

Look, house prices in Vancouver are MORE EXPENSIVE than house prices in Toronto. Further, detached houses in Vancouver cost about FORTY TIMES the average annual local income there, just as they did four months ago, just as they did twelve months ago.

This newspaper seems hell-bent on getting readers to swallow the RIDICULOUS narrative that the recent Vancouver purchase tax against foreigners is somehow destroying Vancouver real estate under some kind of catastrophic plague-like illness that all other cities should avoid like cancer and wild beasts. THAT is the silly, derailed narrative that this newspaper has been ENDLESSLY pushing the past half year.

Give it up. Readers can see through the nonsense. The problem is not the purchase tax, the problem is the flood of money arriving here from overseas.
