Now however the province has elected a labour government which has mentioned numerous times to expect action on the demand side and expectations are sky high that they'll be a bit different.
Here's an article about people are expecting today. A tax on foreign capital is expected. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-ndp-govern...
"This story confirms our government's commitment to taking action to crack down on money laundering and criminal activity in B.C.," David Eby said.
I'm not even sure how to parse it. In my mind this story does anything but "confirm" the government's commitment to stopping this; in my mind it confirms that someone was asleep at the wheel. Perhaps he meant to say "this story has inspired us to crack down..." but the cynical part of me thinks that a politician would never admit there was a problem that they did not already know about.
In any case, I will pay more attention to what David Eby does than what he says.
