Liu says BC needs to improve transit, I assume to make the burbs more accessible/desirable. Yeah, on whose dime? I'd say a 15% tax on foreign speculators is a good start.

Her last sentence, "We can send people to the moon -- housing is just a small problem," demonstrates how little she knows about the dire situations many Canadians are facing and how callous she is as a person. These Chinese diplomats are absolutely unbelievable. Hey China, just because you are rich now it doesn't mean Canadians will kowtow (no pun intended) to you at every juncture. This 15% is a good start and hopefully the government will follow with more measures if things doesn't cool down.
