    Canada is in the unique position that most of the wealth in this country is real-estate, and therefore has a street address.

    That’s a really good point I’ve never seen articulated that way before.

    I’ve long been curious about the impact of tweaks to the principal residence exemption for capital gains tax. Eg a cap, ie once a house has appreciated say $1M in value, further appreciation is taxable as revenue.
