Agreed, you should "have to earn your living by your own hand".  Not by winning the housing lotto by having been born before 1980, or much earlier, and having bought a house at a time when Canadians didn't have to bid against all the world's billionaires.  Unlike today's younger Canadians, who might be paying more in taxes than housing lotto winners' employment income.  Yet the boomers' kids have to support the education and health care of non-tax paying foreigners who bought the houses; OAS recipients with millions in housing winnings in the bank but demanding free health care; etc etc etc.

I agree that generally less government intervention is best, but we should limit the housing market to people living and working in Canada.

Canada has sacrificed our youth and future in exchange for providing unearned windfalls to foreigners and boomers.
