Empty nesters are the problem, and its a problem all over North America, not just Canmore. If a 60+ year old person has an empty bedroom, in the middle of a nationwide housing crisis, how do you turn around and blame the condo in the middle of the city centre for the lack of family housing?

Not to mention it's absolutely perplexing why Fuzz thinks the kids raised there should have some sort of priority position in buying real estate at a discount from market value. That's not even a thing anywhere in the world. It's super dumb, honestly. Who fkn cares if they can or can't. Real estate - in Canada - goes to the person with the budget to buy what something is worth.
Canmore people think they should get special treatment, though. Totally weird.
