Paying a million dollars for a townhouse in burnaby is a fucking laughable prospect. Its completely panic driven purchases.
I recall a report a couple of years ago which was either for Vancouver or BC (sorry, can't recall) stating that only 5% of workers earn >$100,000

That's slightly scary that 95% of workers (let alone those that don't work) earn less than $100,000.
