Actually, the BC NDP's proposal is the CLOSEST thing any government or party in Canada has come to actually dealing muscularly with overseas money, and that is the NDP plan to increase property tax on folks who do not have BC income tax histories.

Look, dislike the NDP all you want, but that one policy proposal is WAY more aggressive than anything Ottawa or the BC Liberals have come up with for dealing with overseas money. The NDP's plan is a torpedo at overseas-working millionaires, regardless of whether they bought a Canadian passport or not and regardless of whether their Vancouver house is empty or filled with a parachute family. No other party has touched that target.
