You've made a good joke, but the root of the problem is that more and more Canadians can't afford a house in their own country because non-citizens have bought them all and increased prices.
It's not like these foreign nationals are even living there, they're either keeping it empty or trying to rent it. Putting a significant punitive tax on non-citizens real-estate purchases would be good for the Canadian middle class.
