Absolutely not. They have different aims and goals, sure, but Republicans lie as often as the Chinese Communist party because everything they say is a lie. US corporations make up lies that aren’t even just twisting reality.
The Chinese Communist party is currently worse because it has full control of the state to enact their lies. That is the only difference right now, but Republicans and their corporate allies are working towards that goal.
Foreign home ownership makes up a relatively small part of our housing market. Focus on it is mostly a misdirection from the real causes of our cost-of-living problem which is home grown housing speculation and lack of investment in social housing.

Dunno. Vancouver’s pretty fucked for housing and that’s got 6.2% foreign ownership rate. I wouldn’t mind being able to have a shot at affording a home in my city.
It’s not the ONLY reason housing is fucked but 6.2% isn’t nothing.

You must be in Canada? I thought Chinese dominance over your real estate market was actually a significant issue, requiring recent legislative action.
You thought wrong.
