It is full loopholes like people with 10 year visas, work visas, student visas are exempt. We have University students with $31million Vancouver mansions in their name. Our tax system is screwy where we have very low property taxes and high employment tax. The whole west side of Vancouver claims poverty level incomes on average (like qualifies for government tax rebates bad), yet it is the most expensive land in the country.

Astronaut families are a problem and I feel leach on the society. Paying very low taxes, using all the social services, yet making income outside of the country so not paying anything.

I agree, but I think we both know how well fixing that will go down with the absolutely massive voting group that is seniors.


>very low property taxes and high employment tax

The US is the exception to that rule. Canada mirrors most of Europe.
