is this a joke?
BC gov expect anyone to take this crap seriously?
foreign national means people with no canadian citizenship (i.e. did not immigrate to Canada.)

Most buyers are Canadian citizen/immigrants, buying using foreign money.

I am actually surprised there is 3% foreign buyers...very few people would buy real estate in a place they have no ties, and no citizenship right in. (would you go buy some houses in Europe or Australia when you dont' live there?)
